The Nuclear Information and Resource Service (NIRS) is an anti-nuclear group founded in 1978 to be the information and networking center for citizens and organizations concerned about nuclear power, radioactive waste, radiation and sustainable energy issues. The organization advocates the implementation of safe, sustainable solutions such as energy efficiency, solar power, wind power and plug-in hybrids. As of 2007, NIRS claims to initiate "''large-scale organizing and public education campaigns on specific issues,''"〔(About NIRS )〕 such as to "''bring technical expertise and strategic sense to grassroots environmental groups.''" In 2000, NIRS' affiliation with World Information Service on Energy (WISE) turned it into an international organization (NIRS/WISE).〔 The magazine ''Nuclear Engineering International'' has said that it runs easily the best website on uranium mining throughout the world.〔''Nuclear Engineering International''. (Public opinion: how do we get it on our side? ). 21 January 2008.〕 ==Issue stances== Some of the policies endorsed by NIRS include strict controls on nuclear waste disposal, bans on nuclear weapons and new power plants. NIRS is opposed to ineffective nuclear waste reprocessing, unsafe transportation of nuclear waste, and the implementation of large-scale nuclear waste repositories like Yucca Mountain nuclear waste repository. NIRS also does not view nuclear energy as a remedy for climate change. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア(Wikipedia)』 ■ウィキペディアで「Nuclear Information and Resource Service」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
