Information and Resource Service (NIRS)
is a national information and networking center for citizens and
environmental activists concerned about nuclear power,
radioactive waste, radiation and sustainable energy issues. NIRS initiates large-scale organizing and public education
campaigns on specific issues, such as preventing
construction of new reactors, radioactive waste
transportation, deregulation of radioactive materials, and
more. Its international programs and affiliation with
WISE
(World Information Service on Energy) mean that its network spans more than a
dozen offices and programs around the globe.

New nuclear power plants are unlikely to
provide a significant fraction of future U.S. needs for
low-carbon energy. NRDC favors more practical, economical
and environmentally sustainable approaches to reducing both
U.S. and global carbon emissions, focusing on the widest
possible implementation of end-use energy-efficiency
improvements, and on policies to accelerate
commercialization of clean, flexible, renewable energy
technologies.
