Action Alerts Divine Strake Petition - Demand a full review and formal public hearings regarding the purposed Divine Strake open-air detonation at the Nevada Test Site!

The Mexican government, led by the federal Environment and Natural Resources Secretariat (SEMARNAT), and a company called CEGIR/Centro de Gestion Integral de Residuos S.A., have been quietly planning to put a hazardous waste dump in O’odham territory, close to the sacred site of Quitovac. Just a few miles southwest of the Sonora state border with Arizona and close to the beach resort of Puerto Peñasco, this project has been conducted with no involvement of the Indigenous O’odham communities in decision-making processes. Global Petition supporting the Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples Help Stop the International Push for Deregulating Nuclear Waste! August 28, 2006 Urge Congress to Cease and Desist on Subcritical Testing
August 28, 2006 Urge Congress to "Stop the Payment" on Divine Strake While the Divine Strake Test has been “postponed indefinitely,” it has not been canceled. The only sure way to cancel this test is to cut off its funding. These funds would be much better spent cleaning up sites contaminated by nuclear and other weapons testing. We call upon peace and disarmament activists to pressure their congressional delegations to rescind the funding for Divine Strake, and allocate the funds for cleanup of weapons. Print out these checks, and write your own messages to your congressional representatives and local war profiteers. There are other ideas printed with the check.
June 20, 2006 Urge Congress to Defeat Amendment 4267 to the Defense Authorization Bill June 19, 2006 Here is more information from Kevin Kamps: At the Environmental Working Group website, is a link that shows the U.S. Dept. of Energy route map for rail and truck shipments of irradiated nuclear fuel (high-level radioactive waste) shipments if the Yucca Mountain dump in Nevada ever opens: http://www.ewg.org/reports_content/NuclearWaste/pdf/eis_j_IN-MI-OH.pdf. And check out this incredible website from EWG – you type in any address in the Lower 48, and it shows you how close that address is to a Yucca-bound road or rail route for high-level atomic waste trucks and trains: http://www.ewg.org/reports/nuclearwaste/find_address.php Here's a link to a NIRS fact sheet
containing barge routes on And this Public Citizen fact sheet shows why severe accidents (or terrorist attacks, for that matter) involving such shipments are potentially catastrophic: http://www.nirs.org/radwaste/hlwtransport/caskfactsheet.pdf.
