Producing nuclear energy poses health hazards (see: uranium sourcing) and creates waste (see: radioactive high level waste).

In the United States, nuclear waste is dumped on Yucca Mountain. It's sacred land that belongs to the Western Shoshone.

How clean is nuclear energy if you're dumping radioactive waste on indigenous land? How different is
#AdvancingNuclear than, say,#DAPL? -
agree - dumping waste on indigenous land shouldn't be done. Period, full stop. All energy should respect indigenous land.

Recognize this hasn't been the case. On
#DAPL: Advanced nuclear is carbon-free base load & can replace coal & natural gas; -
I think it has opportunity to be different than
#DAPL & we (nuclear supporters) have a responsibility to ensure it's different. -
Thanks for this. Is there any part of
#AdvancingNuclear that features indigenous peoples talking about this?@erinmburns - 2 more replies
