Good Energy Collective, the organization I work for, would like to invite Brattleboro residents to a series of paid workshops we’re hosting for residents of the towns neighboring the Vermont Yankee Nuclear Power Plant site. The workshops are part of a two-year Department of Energy (DOE) project to define a consent-based siting process for spent nuclear fuel in the U.S.—a process that DOE hopes to use to site one or more interim facilities that will store all of the nation’s commercial spent nuclear fuel until a permanent storage solution becomes available.
We are looking for 50 interested community members to participate in the workshops, which will be held on:
Sunday, October 20th, 2:00 p.m. – 5:00 p.m.
Monday, October 21st, 3:00 p.m. – 6:00 p.m.
Tuesday, October 22nd, 5:30 p.m. – 8:30 p.m.
No expertise in nuclear energy or waste is necessary, and all three workshops will cover the same material, so there’s no need to attend more than one. All participants will be paid $60/hour ($180 total for the first workshop) and have the opportunity to participate in subsequent paid workshops in the months following.
You can learn more about the project and register your interest in attending using this Google Form: https://forms.gle/W18mSgPrrx1k5Jo7A
If you have any questions about the project or the workshop, feel free to contact me at jasper@goodenergycollective.org
