was best known for its work on nuclear issues, highlighted in 1979 when it issued an urgent warning on the notorious Three Mile Island power plant just two months before the facility suffered a crippling meltdown. Perhaps less well known is the flip side of the coin. Alongside the “no” of anti-nuclear advocacy, UCS has aggressively promoted the “yes” of helping to create an economic and policy framework that supports more sustainable forms of energy generation and national defense strategies.
On national defense, UCS spearheaded efforts against the “Star Wars” proposal of the 1980’s and the lesser known but equally ill-considered “bunker-busting” Robust Nuclear Earth Penetrator proposal of the 2000’s. On energy, in addition to a focus on nuclear safety, UCS advocated for action on climate change, highlighted by its involvement in drafting the Kyoto Protocol and regulatory frameworks for reducing greenhouse gas emissions in California and the Northeast.
