"People in every state are affected by the nuclear waste disposal problem, and are 
hungry for clear, credible information about it. The League's Primer responds to 
this need so well that it is a national public service."

-Morris K. Udall, Chairman,
Committee on Interior and Insular Affairs,
U.S. House of Representatives

Nuclear waste is one of the key problems of our time. Here, finally, is a much-needed 
source book of facts about this troubling issue. Every year, the stockpiles of nuclear 
waste grow. As they do, the nation's debate over their safe storage, transportation, 
and disposal widens and intensifies. How dangerous is nuclear waste? Who is 
responsible for protecting the public? Amid the laws, regulations, position papers, 
speeches and reports, how can citizens make their voices heard?
The Nuclear Waste Primer is a reasoned, balanced presentation of the facts about 
nuclear waste. With this book, the League of Women Voters Education Fund offers 
a clear, unbiased view of the central questions about the handling and disposal of 
hazardous radioactive residues. The Primer offers citizens tips on how to get their 
questions answered and how to have their say in decision-making at all levels of 
government.
The debate over nuclear waste is complex. Industry, government, consumer groups, 
and environmentalists all approach the subject from vastly different perspectives. 
The Nuclear Waste Primer will serve as a touchstone of dependable information 
as the nation confronts one of the major public-policy issues of the decade.
THE LEAGUE OF WOMEN VOTERS EDUCATION FUND last year issued 
the highly acclaimed election-year handbook, Choosing the President.
