] The mission of the Nuclear Policy Research Institute
] (NPRI) is to produce massive, effective, ongoing public
] education campaigns in major U.S. media about the
] often-underestimated dangers of nuclear weapons and power
] programs and policies. NPRI takes as its inspiration
] Thomas Jefferson's observation that "an informed
] democracy will behave in a responsible fashion" and
] believes that the only way to counter the perilous and
] tremendously expensive nuclear programs is to inform the
] U.S. public, its policy makers, and the global community
] about the true economic, social, political, biomedical,
] and moral costs of ongoing nuclear policies.
