The Keep Yellowstone Nuclear Free mission is to protect the citizens, environment, and wildlife of the greater Yellowstone and Grand Teton ecosystems and the Jackson Hole valley from radioactive and hazardous emissions from the U.S. Department of Energy's Idaho National Laboratory (INL), and to elevate public awareness to the threat posed by toxic and hazardous facilities operating at INL.
It has been 10 years since Keep Yellowstone Nuclear Free (KYNF) formed in opposition to the proposed nuclear and hazardous waste incinerator at the Department of Energy (DOE) complex located just 90 miles west of Jackson. Due to the challenge that KYNF and the Jackson community posed to the DOE, scientists and politicians from across the country, the type of incineration that has been used throughout all DOE complexes in the country has been disallowed. The DOE as well as private industry have partnered to find and market safer and more environmentally sound alternatives to incineration.
We need your support to continue to challenge the Department of Energy on practices that threaten our health and the Greater Yellowstone ecosystem. Any financial contribution you can make will be used to help us further the work we are doing. Please send your contributions to: KYNF, PO Box 4757, Jackson WY 83001. In return, we will send one of our famous “Plutonium Free Powder” stickers with a donation of $5.00 or more.
