“Our freedoms can
only
be maintained by the advancement of technologies that serve mankind—
not
advancing technology puts Freedom at Risk and
our freedom is
threatened because we
don't take the time to
participate in it” GJD
Unfortunately our world does not recognize "superstar scientists" as they do entertainers.
Our country needs a new PROGRAM . . "The Annual Academia Awards" Identifying Americas scientists to Americas Citizens!
Our hats are off to
our
Contributing Scientists for their
"superstar science"!
MISSION STATEMENT
Our Mission Statement is our Operating Prospectus
|
Our Long Term Mission is to mobilize citizens in Nevada, and
across the U.S. to Drive Government,
Our grassroots launch in Nevada, estimated to be one of the
most challenging states in the country |
US Nuclear Energy is a completely volunteer grassroots organization. The topics below are the main focus by which US Nuclear Energy operates. This model is designed, to provide content to our website and produce and process the bulleted topics listed below. Our misson is designed to provide a complete operational model towards establishing other CHAPTERS with our directive of "Bringing Science to Citizens" about nuclear energy and waste repository development. Our primary focus is on education directly to citizens, directly from scientists in the nuclear science community.
l Printed literature and flyer distribution of the information we produce is about the most inexpensive form of promotional activity available, either via actual handouts, direct mail, etc., a must for grassroots missions we review and edit our print materials on an ongoing basis. Our materials are as cost effective as possibly can be with in-house digital printing.
l Public presentations by scientists and specialists involved in the nuclear industry are held at various times to provide a one on one educational exposure to average citizens about the science of nuclear energy, its health hazards, its medical achievements and spent radioactive waste containment the industry has achieved. With these "presentations" we contact scientists seeking their expertise in providing public presentations covering their specialty. We setup the promotional flyers, facility and promote the meeting via press releases, direct mailings to the public, media, businesses, etc. (Presenters volunteer, we support travel expenses).
l Service Organizations: Local service organizations are a good method of bringing nuclear science education to Rotary clubs, Kiwanis clubs, Chamber of Commerce meetings, etc. These organizations regularly have guest speakers talk about public policy, community issues, etc. At these meetings we can distribute our literature show one of our video presentations, etc. These opportunities are a win-win for both entities.
l Booth Space: When possible we acquire "booth space" at public gatherings, trade shows, farmers markets, craft shows, etc. Any event that supports concentrated groups of people is an ideal venue for the distribution of our nuclear educational materials. We are not scientists; we are average citizens with the interest in "promoting" scientific data about nuclear energy technology and spent fuel cycle nuclear waste storage facilities.
l Distribution: Literature / flyer distribution can also be extended by making arrangements with small companies of any venue, beauty shops, sub shops, computer stores, spas, etc., by asking" owner’s permission to place our free literature in their businesses. This type of promotion is good for precipitating discussions about the nuclear industry at the grassroots level and when "presentations" are held more citizens can be notified via these outlets.
l Data Basing: In order to effectively promote a grassroots cause, information needs to be data based so that, once we acquire a supporting contact we can continue to develop that relationship in hopes that that citizen will help expand our cause with his contacts.
NOTE: Some say that this mission is the responsibility of the nuclear industry itself. We have found that world politics and media misrepresentation about nuclear science have been so extensive over the past 50 years that an outside entity such as ours is needed to champion this cause. We are disconnected from direct influence of the industry but focused to bring the science DIRECTLY to the public not filtered by the media and not slanted by political partisan politics. There is a major need for a great expansion of "scientific editors" throughout the entire "world media" to "report" science and engineering related to this industry not the sensationalisms of the past. We would challenge the media to assess the entire worldwide loss of life caused by the nuclear industry against the entire coal mining industry loss of lives over the past 100 years, and then generate a "safest industry report" from those facts, applied logic and common sense.
Another factor in our observations is a gap between the scientific, university communities and the public. The nuclear industry and university systems involved in nuclear engineering are not well equipped to populate their technology advances to the public platform which results in a lack of understanding by the public. Companies make their attempts with public outreach programs which are produced by their public relations departments. Again, our mission is to bridge this gap as we feel that "knowledgeable" citizens in respect to nuclear technology will help drive the "public position" on nuclear to the media and our political representatives.
In respect to media and politics we feel that it is
the right of citizens to demand the truth and facts when it comes to the
scientific progress of our world societies. Science must be shared,
protected, secure and applied for the overall benefit of mankind . . . and
this is the only way we can begin to solve the environmental problems we
face on a global basis.
