Mark your calendar for the Keep Oregon Nuclear-Free Day of Action on May 19. Whether you can make it to Salem to meet with your legislators in person, or join a virtual meeting, we need your help to ensure that the Oregon legislature hears loud and clear that Oregonians do not want costly and dirty new nuclear reactors in our state.
HB 2410, would exempt Umatilla County from the statewide moratorium on building new nuclear reactors, allowing small modular nuclear reactors to be built in the county.
HB 2038 would require the Oregon Department of Energy to study nuclear power. This is an unnecessary distraction from the real challenge of meeting Oregon’s clean energy goals.
These bills divert funding from energy efficiency, renewable energy, and storage technologies that are safer, less expensive, and faster to deploy. RSVP for the Day of Action here – attend virtually from home if you can’t make it to Salem!
