Still Time to Join the Nuclear Advocacy Network
Over 2,400 of your nuclear industry colleagues have already registered to be a nuclear
advocate, have you?
As a member of NA-YGN, we all know how important it is to stay current on nuclear
policies, news and technology especially considering nuclear energy is such a hot topic!
As a member of the Nuclear Advocacy Network (NAN), you will receive e-mail action alerts,
information and critical news about current nuclear energy issues that may be pending in
Congress or at the state level. The network will help you influence the outcome of these
issues by providing ways to reach policymakers in an effective and timely way. These
action alerts will instruct you on how to access your congressional and state
representatives to express your views on nuclear-related issues.
To join, please visit the NAN website at
www.nuclearadvocacynetwork.com<http://www.nuclearadvocacynetwork.com/> and register
as a nuclear advocate! Be sure to use the key word uranium to join - recruitment is by
invite only. This key word will only work only until the end of June so register NOW!
