Thank You from ANS

Dear ANS Members,   As you likely have already heard, yesterday the House of Representatives passed H.R. 3053, the Nuclear Waste Policy Amendments Act of 2018. This is a key milestone and victory. ANS stepped up to support this legislation because it is a strong step in the right direction toward a sensible, safe, and reliable nuclear waste program.   I want to personally thank all ANS members who contacted their Member of Congress to support the bill. ANS members played a big role in the nuclear community's advocacy efforts; close to 700 of our members wrote emails, tweeted, and posted Facebook comments through ANS Engage urging legislators to support a modern, practical waste program. That is an extraordinary number.   The bill passed the House by 340-72: a record level of support, made possible by your outreach and efforts.   I am proud to see such passion and engagement from ANS members on an issue that matters so deeply to the nuclear community. We spoke our minds and it made a difference!   THANK YOU!   Bob Coward ANS President
