This document provides biographical sketches of five speakers participating in a briefing titled "TOWARD AN EVIDENCE-BASED NUCLEAR ENERGY POLICY," which focuses on nuclear decommissioning, radioactive waste, and nuclear energy's role in climate strategy.

This briefing, compiled from public interest groups, warns against the current trend of privatized nuclear decommissioning in the United States. It argues that private companies are prioritizing profit over safety by rapidly dismantling plants and moving high-level radioactive waste to 'consolidated interim storage' (CIS) sites without adequate containment technology or a permanent disposal solution.
