Please write to your two U.S. Senators, as well as Senate Majority Leader Tom Daschle (D-SD),
whose powerful position enables him to block the Yucca dump if he chooses to do so.

The Honorable (full name)
U.S. Senate
Washington, D.C. 20510

I urge you to support Nevada's veto of the plan to bury 77,000 tons of high-level
nuclear waste at Yucca Mountain, Nevada.Up to 100,000 atomic waste truck and
train shipments would travel through 45 states- within 1/2-mile of the homes of 50
million people. Due to the risk of severe transport accidents and the potential for
catastrophic terrorist attacks on shipments, this would mean radioactive Russian
roulette on our roads and rails. The Yucca site is itself scientifically unsuitable,
located in a very active earthquake zone that is guaranteed to leak radiation into the
drinking water supply. It makes no sense to risk transporting these deadly wastes
just to dump them at the one site in the country that has been proven scientifically
indefensible. Please oppose the Yucca Mountain dump and the unprecedented
"Mobile Chernobyl" shipments it would launch.

Sincerely,

Please send your letters to NIRS- 1424 16th St NW, Suite 404, Washington, DC 20036, and we will hand deliver
them for you right away. Due to the anthrax attacks on Congress and current mail irradiation, mailed letters may take
weeks or months to reach the Senate, if they make it at all.
