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.
