About Nuclear Watch New Mexico



Mission Statement
Through comprehensive research, public education and effective citizen action, Nuclear Watch New Mexico seeks to promote safety and environmental protection at regional nuclear facilities; mission diversification away from nuclear weapons programs; greater accountability and cleanup in the nation-wide nuclear weapons complex; and consistent U.S. leadership toward a world free of nuclear weapons.

Accomplishments
Veteran New Mexican anti-nuclear activists founded Nuclear Watch New Mexico in December 1999. Since then we have engaged in many successful efforts to address nuclear weapons issues, across the spectrum of disarmament, nonproliferation, open government and environmental concerns.

Danielle Brian Danielle Brian, Executive Director of the Project on Government Oversight (POGO) has this to say about Nuclear Watch NM:
"Nuclear Watch New Mexico gives incredible bang for the buck in nuclear weapons issues. This small, lean organization is very effective, and POGO often relies on them for information and advice on the U.S.' nuclear weapons complex.
"As one past example, NukeWatch managed to persuade Senator Jeff Bingaman to legislatively require an independent lifetime study of the plutonium pit cores of nuclear weapons. The resulting expert finding that pits last at least 100 years, more than double the government's previous estimates, led to historic congressional rejection of new-design nuclear weapons and related expanded plutonium pit production.
"Today, NukeWatch is making the contractors that profit from nuclear weapons programs more accountable by forcing the government to release its performance evaluation reports. Most importantly, NukeWatch is in the forefront of the fight against enormously expensive "Life Extension Programs" that give existing nuclear weapons new military capabilities, contrary to official U.S. policy.
"If you really want a future world free of nuclear weapons, you can hardly make a better investment than to give to Nuclear Watch New Mexico. They need and deserve your support so that they can carry on their groundbreaking work. I urge you to be generous with them!"

General Omar Bradley on Nuclear Weapons "Ours is a world of nuclear giants and ethical infants. We know more about war than we know about peace, more about killing than we know about living. We have grasped the mystery of the atom and rejected the Sermon on the Mount." -Gen. Omar Bradley
