] 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.
