Gwyneth, like Stuart Brand, Patrick Moore, James Lovelock, and Bishop 
Hugh Montefiore is a "switcher" or a "convert" who has spent a good deal 
of time in the anti-nuclear world. She is a resident of Long Island who 
participated in the successful, and ultimately very expensive, fight to 
prevent Long Island Lighting Co. from operating the Shoreham Nuclear 
Power Plant. However, as a native of Albuquerque, NM, she had the 
opportunity to develop a social acquaintance with Rip Anderson, one of 
the leading researchers and practitioners of probabilistic risk 
assessment of nuclear facilities.

Her occasional discussions with Dr. Anderson began to disturb her 
previously firm belief that nuclear power represented an unreasonably 
risky endeavor that should not be allowed to flourish. Eventually, she 
decided that she needed to learn more - I love people like that! Through 
her connection with Dr. Anderson, she set up visits to mines, a uranium 
mill, waste storage facilities in Idaho, a coal fired steam plant, a 
nuclear power plant, the Waste Isolation Pilot Plant, Yucca Mountain, 
and probably some other sites that I have overlooked in the list.
