"MI and DC Cook" and
"DC Cook"
show the cask in front of the main entrance and propaganda billboard to the Cook nuclear power complex in southwest Michigan. Cook is one of the main targets of the Nuclear Free Great Lakes Action Camp, which will be in southwest Michigan from August 20-28, 2000.
"Michigan"
shows the mock waste cask leaving Michigan, an image Rep. Fred Upton (R-Mich., sponsor of the House Mobile Chernobyl bill) dreams about at night.
"Indiana"
shows West Interstate 90/IN toll road, driving towards Chicago.
shows cask and some of the 15,000 people in Evanston, Illinois, that watched us cruise by.
shows the deciding vote caster enjoying our cask at the Evanston 4th of July parade. He also liked the info sheets we were handing out that day, with the bold banner headline "Durbin Was Right!" for his vote on S. 1287. Durbin (D-Ill.) cast a key vote to sustain President Clinton's veto of the Mobile Chernobyl bill earlier this year.
"Jeff City" and
"Jefferson City Capitol Building."
One shows kids touring the Capitol, which is literally a stone's throw up a hill from the Union Pacific railway which would haul many thousands of high level waste casks across Missouri.
"Columbia"
shows cask pulling into U. of MO in Columbia. Columbia lies directly off I-70, which could see 2 truck shipments of high level waste per day for 30 years. Note the columns and dome of Jesse Hall, symbol of U. of MO and Columbia for that matter.
shows the scene on "Free Speech Circle" on campus at Missouri U. (Mizzou) when the breeder research reactor professor (white hair, checked shirt) and his students (placards) tried to crash my (white shirt) press conference. I thanked them for their opinion, and proceeded with the press conference.
shows us out front of the big retired train station now turned into a thriving cultural/entertainment center. What better place to symbolize the 3 train shipments per week targeted to go thru KC for 3 decades, with 260 Hiroshima bombs' worth of long lasting radiation in each and every train cask. Fox TV reporter is interviewing me.
shows me being interviewed by a Kansas City Star newspaper reporter in front of the WWI monument in KC, again at Union Station. (just a different orientation)
