Nuclear Advocacy Resource Organization (NARO)

Check out this fantastic article from the LA Times, highlighting the generational shift in support of nuclear energy. NARO was created for this exact purpose. We believe it is our generations turn to make things right, and one of the ways to do that is through education and advocacy of nuclear energy. We are so honored that our President Veronica Annala and VP Gabriel Ivory were featured as a part of this article. Special thanks to Noah Haggerty for this work. Great job to Jenifer Avellaneda Diaz, Heather Hoff, Matt Wargon, P.E., Nuclear is Clean Energy Club (NiCE), and others for their testimony and work promoting nuclear! #changetheNAROtive #nuclear #nuclearadvocacy #latimes #nuclearenergy #genz

?? You Shouldn’t be Afraid of Nuclear Waste On Saturday, before the New Mexico State football game, NARO members stood outside the stadium, engaging with the public about nuclear waste. Many people approached us thinking nuclear waste was something out of the Simpsons—green, glowing goo. But after chatting with us, they learned the reality is far different. Nuclear waste, while often misunderstood, is carefully managed and regulated to ensure safety. 90% of nuclear waste (by volume) is simply material that has had the potential of coming in contact with radioactive materials (i.e. rags, towels, or gloves). The "scary" stuff only makes up 3% by volume and is just Uranium metal rods that have spent 18-24 months providing clean, carbon-free electricity. The truth is nuclear waste is the most secure form of energy byproduct. Our conversations aimed to demystify the subject and replace the images of green goo in people’s minds with the real thing. It's crucial to educate the public and shift the NAROtive around nuclear waste. It's not about fear; it's about facts and finding sustainable solutions for the future. Let's keep the conversation going. #NuclearEnergy #changetheNAROtive #Sustainability #PublicEngagement #EnergyInnovation #nuclearwaste

Nuclear waste is the biggest issue with nuclear energy!? These students think so. These are just a few of the responses we got on our most recent survey, which revealed students' largest concern with nuclear energy: nuclear waste. Here are some of the reasons they gave. #nuclearenergy #nuclearwaste #waste #nuclearadvocacy #narotive #naro #survey #results

What's your problem? ?? We had over 300 respondents for our most recent survey that aims to figure out what concerns college students have about nuclear energy - if any at all. We thought the results were very interesting. What do you think? Stay tuned for an in depth look at some of the responses to our free response question, giving us more insight into the students thought processes surrounding their answers. #nuclearadvocacy #naro #nuclearenergy #nuclear #survey #response #aggies

?? We had more support for nuclear this past weekend! ??Nuclear is Clean Energy Club (NiCE) showed up at the University of California, Berkeley vs University of Miami game and made it onto ESPN's College GameDay broadcast. They ?? nuclear and we ?? them! ??At the Texas A&M vs University of Missouri game, broadcasted on SEC Nation, Nuclear Advocacy Resource Organization (NARO) showed up once again! ??Students from the American Nuclear Society - Penn State Student Section also made it onto FOX Big Noon Kickoff. We love seeing the energy and support for nuclear energy and are so excited to see who shows up to Saturday, October 12th's ESPN’s College GameDay which will be held at University of Oregon vs Ohio State! #NAYGN #NuclearEnergy #CollegeGameDay

??NARO members always win. Both in fencing and advocacy! ?? If you have a photo of you supporting nuclear energy while doing something you love, DM it to us! Congrats to Alexander Parmer, Natthapat Chumpirom, and Tomas Cardoza!

St. Lucie showing the world how much of a beast nuclear power is! The world needs abundant, reliable, clean energy. Nuclear can provide all three. Thank you to all of the nuclear workers who are so resilient, even in the face of extreme conditions. #changetheNAROtive #nuclearenergy #nuclearadvocacy

"We're down to talk about [nuclear]" The world's biggest banks are down for nuclear, and we think you should be too! Ryan Pickering brought up some very important points about the current reactor fleet and where he feels is the best direction to move forward. Ryan believes nuclear advocacy is for everyone and we should always be ready to #TalkAboutNuclear! Ryan Pickering was the moderator for the Socio-Environmental case for nuclear panel. During this panel, we discussed water and land conservation, as well as what nuclear does for our communities better than other energy sources. Special thanks to Nuclear New York for hosting the Nuclear Symposium and to Ryan for his insight. #nuclearadvocacy #nuclearenergy #newyork #nuclearengineering #cleanenergy

?? SEC Nuclear Energy Takeover ?? Yesterday morning, NARO took center stage at SEC Nation, filling the front row with pro-nuclear energy signs! Our dedicated members woke up at 4:30 AM to ensure our message was clear: it's time to start the conversation about the future of energy. The response was incredible—countless attendees, including SEC Nation staff, approached us to learn more about nuclear energy and its role in clean energy solutions. Whether it takes one sign or a thousand, we will be heard! Let’s keep the momentum going! #talkaboutnuclear #changetheNAROtive
