Presentation of EFN-USA Environmentalists For Nuclear Energy (USA) is a not-for-profit organization based in Denver, Colorado, USA, whose objectives are: - to provide complete and straightforward information about energy and the environment - to make known the advantages of nuclear energy, and especially the benefits for humanity, the environment, wildlife and biodiversity - to bring together persons favoring the use of nuclear energy for peaceful purposes, respect for the environment, and proper management of nuclear waste

- to achieve its purposes through the conduct of lectures; the participation in public and written debate; the contribution of scientific, technical, and generally educational communications to the press, to the audio-visual media, and the public in general; the creation, operation and maintenance of multilingual internet sites; and appearances at public and professional fairs and exhibitions.

History of EFN-USA EFN started growing in 1996 around Bruno Comby (author of 8 books on healthy living, and environmentalism) after the publication of his book "Environmentalists For Nuclear Energy" and his participation in numerous TV and radio debates on this occasion.

At the end of 2002, some American members of EFN-International decided to create EFN-USA as a new organization in North America. Benefiting from the previous experience of EFN-International based in France, the new EFN-USA association (North American sister organization of EFN) was launched in February 2004.

The first President of EFN-USA was Berol Robinson. He retired in 2013, when John Shanahan became the second President.

EFN-USA has a twelve person Board of Directors, including Bruno Comby, Founder of EFN-International, Berol Robinson, the first President of EFNUSA, and other scientists, engineers and educators in the United States, France, India, and South Africa.

Our focus is on practical, domestic topics about nuclear energy and its main benefits for humanity, the environment, wildlife and biodiversity. We also focus on promoting practical US policies that impact the world in these areas. Hence the International Board of Directors.

EFN-USA considers environmental opposition to nuclear energy to be the greatest misunderstanding and mistake since the beginning of use of nuclear energy for peaceful purposes in the 1950s.

If well managed, nuclear energy is very clean, does not eject polluting gases in the atmosphere, uses very few construction materials (per kWh) compared to solar & wind energy, and produces very little solid waste (almost totally confined).

True environmentalists are therefore encouraged to be in favor of nuclear energy. EFN-USA works at informing the public of the environmental benefits of nuclear energy, the cleanest energy resource massively available.

Our belief is that more efficient uses of energy, and self sustainable lifestyles should also be promoted on the long term.

EFN unites people throughout the world who are concerned about the future of our planet and want to keep it clean and protect nature, thanks to the use of nuclear energy.

EFN currently gathers over 10.000 members and supporters, with 300 local correspondents in 60 countries, on five continents.

The point of view of EFN-USA To reduce pollution of the atmosphere, ocean, lakes, rivers and land; promote energy conservation and sustainable lifestyles; preserve wildlife habitat and biodiversity: and most of all to help improve the lives of billion of people living far below the standards of advanced economies all through use of clean nuclear energy.

EFN-USA works at informing the public of the environmental benefits of nuclear energy, the cleanest energy resource available to humanity in practically unlimited quantity.
