If you would like additional information about the movie and why we are
showing it, I have included the following excerpt from my letter to the
editor published recently in area newspapers:



This documentary tells the story of a young woman, Kelly McMasters, author
of the book *Welcome to Shirley*, who grew up near a nuclear laboratory on
Long Island, New York. McMasters, her neighbors, and people living near
nuclear sites around the country reveal the health repercussions of living
in their “nuclear neighborhoods”.   Renowned physicists, nuclear engineers,
investigative journalists, Nuclear Regulatory Commission inspectors, former
government leaders, and community advocates are interviewed as the film
makers research what is fact and what is fiction about nuclear power.



To quote The Video Project, the distributor of this film, “Their concerns
call into question who can be trusted to provide truthful information, and
how much influence the nuclear industry has over the Nuclear Regulatory
Commission and its decisions.  As the nation stands at the crossroads of a
possible Nuclear Renaissance, *The Atomic States of America* inspires
informed discussion on the safety, viability and future of nuclear power in
the United States.”



A highly rated documentary, *The Atomic States of America* was nominated
for the Grand Jury Award at the Sundance Film Festival.  *Please join us as
we dig deeper into what implications a nuclear plant in the midst of
Wilton, Durant, West Liberty, and Muscatine could have for our communities
and beyond.  This film is particularly applicable to anyone who lives
within 50 miles of the proposed site, as you live in the “contamination
zone” of this plant if there would be a nuclear accident.** * Due to its
content, *The Atomic States of America* is recommended for ninth grade
students on up through adults.  If you have any questions, please phone me
at 563-260-8094.
