Alliance for Nuclear Accountability

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Alliance for Nuclear Accountability (ANA) is a network of local, regional and national organizations working collaboratively on issues of nuclear weapons production and waste cleanup.[1] Many of the local groups live downwind and downstream of the United States nuclear weapons complex sites. The member organizations are watchdogs of the Department of Energy nuclear weapons and energy programs.[2] It was founded in 1987, under the name Military Production Network. In 1997 the name was changed to the Alliance for Nuclear Accountability.[3][4]

In 2023, ANA stakeholders met with the U.S. Office of Environmental Management. During its annual Alliance for Nuclear Accountability (ANA) DC Days, ANA members meet with government administration officials and members of Congress to discuss nuclear weapons related health, cleanup and weapons issues.[5]
