ANS Spearheads Call To Action EPA Initiative

Members asked to comment on government website

The American Nuclear Society President Dr. Michaele Brady Raap recently sent out a call to action letter to all members in response to the EPA’s unfair Clean Power Rule plan.  In the letter Dr. Brady Raap explained to members that the new EPA plan discriminates against nuclear energy vs. other forms of energy.

ANS members are being called upon to petition the EPA with personalized comments, and are asked to include the following two points within those posted comments:

  1. Treat existing plants equally by including 100% of their current output in the baseline CO2 calculation.
  2. Allow states with new plants under construction to count their clean energy generation toward their EPA emissions target.

All comments are to be made on the EPA’s website before December 1, and please identify as an ANS member.
