The Sierra Club opposes building new nuclear reactor technology|nuclear reactors, both nuclear fission|fission and nuclear fusion|fusion, until specific inherent safety risks are mitigated by conservationist political policies, and regulatory agencies are in place to enforce those policies.[1] The club currently opposes nuclear fusion due to its "probable" release of the hydrogen isotope, tritium.[2]
