Biography / History

CCNS is a non-profit, non-governmental organization that was founded in 1988 because of community concerns about nuclear waste transportation from the Los Alamos National Laboratory (LANL) to the Waste Isolation Pilot Plant (WIPP). CCNS has since evolved into a nationally recognized organization known for research, litigation, public education, community outreach and organizing on a range of nuclear safety issues. CCNS focuses on DOE sites in New Mexico.

CCNS researches and seeks solutions to the environmental, health and safety impacts of LANL operations on communities located in northern New Mexico. With an environmental and public health interest, CCNS addresses contaminated water discharges, air emissions and waste generation and disposal. CCNS addresses issues concerning the consolidation of U.S. nuclear weapons complex in New Mexico.
