After hearing that the Department of Energy was planning to locate a high level nuclear waste dumping site in the Sandy Mush area, Miller, Miller and Rice became involved with Beaverdam Against Nuclear Dumping (BAND). They talk about their successful grassroots campaign to reverse the Department of Energy’s decision which, had it gone forward, would have required the residents of Beaverdam to move away from the area.
