Nuclear Waste Shipments

By Chris Ulanowski

Syracuse, NY – Nuclear power critics say the U-S Energy Department is developing plans to ship high-level nuclear waste through Syracuse.
The Green Party of New York, the Syracuse Peace Council and the Central New York Citizens Awareness Network raised the issue today. WRVO's Chris Ulanowski spoke to the Green Party's Howie Hawkins about the issue.

Recent cuts to federal funding are challenging our mission to serve central and upstate New York with trusted journalism, vital local coverage, and the diverse programming that informs and connects our communities. This is the moment to join our community of supporters and help keep journalists on the ground, asking hard questions that matter to our region.

Stand with public media and make your gift today—not just for yourself, but for all who depend on WRVO as a trusted resource and civic cornerstone in central and upstate New York.
