This week, Dr. Caldicott talks with Marylia Kelley, the executive director of Tri-Valley CAREs, an organization based in Livermore, California, where she brings 27 years of research, writing and facilitating public participation in decisions regarding Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory, nuclear weapons, waste and cleanup. Kelley advises the federal Environmental Protection Agency and state agencies on the Superfund cleanup of toxic and radioactive pollution at Livermore Lab. She has provided input to the National Academy of Sciences on the proliferation risks of the U.S. nuclear weapons “stockpile stewardship” program, and on the spread of contaminants at the Livermore Lab’s main site.
