7:00 - 9:45 Program: a panel of experts and questions from the audience
This event, sponsored by PACE (pace-cleanenergy.org), has been constructed to expose
one of the most taboo subjects of our time –– nuclear energy.
A panel of experts will present facts about the ramifications of the nuclear power industry
including the inextricable link between domestic power and military weapons. The panelists
are: the director of Three Mile Island Alert, Harrisburg, PA (tmia.com); and the staff of Beyond Nuclear, Takoma Park, MD(beyondnuclear.org).
Included in the presentation will be little known facts such as routine emissions of cancer-
causing isotopes onto the land and into the air and water (toxic discharges); unworkable
evacuation plans; reactor leaks; personal protective items like radiation monitors and thyroid
protection pills; impact on DNA; unprotected fuel rod storage; insufficient protection against
terrorism; inability to help climate change; unsolved waste problems; prohibitive costs placed
on taxpayers; extension of plants' licenses; de-bunking of the French nuclear industry; and
the dangers of uranium mining.
There will also be an exhibition concerning benign solutions to climate change including
environmental organizations and companies exhibiting solar, geothermal, and wind
technologies. A special showing of a very realistic FX Channel film, Meltdown, will be
presented.
Vegetarian pizza, desserts, and non-alcoholic beverages will be for sale.
