Robert "Bob” Alvarez Passing:

Robert "Bob” Alvarez

It is with great sadness that we mark the passing of Robert (Bob) Alvarez. He was one of the bedrock founders of the national movement to unmask the human and environmental carnage that resulted directly from the US production of a massive nuclear arsenal.

Bob helped found the Environmental Policy Institute in the mid-1970's. He is an intrepid researcher, author, investigator, professor, and an unflagging resource to dozens of organizations around the nation. Bob always was an ally (and sometimes an accomplice) of grassroots efforts to hold the nuclear power and weapons establishment accountable. He and his wife Kitty Tucker worked tirelessly to reveal the story behind the killing of Karen Silkwood, and to seek justice for Karen and her family. He served for five years as a Senior Investigator for the U. S. Senate Committee on Governmental Affairs, chaired by Senator John Glenn, and as one of the Senate's primary staff experts on the U.S. nuclear programs.

There's so much more. We will link to the recording of an Alliance for Nuclear Responsibility/NIRS event presenting Bob Alvarez with a lifetime achievement award that took place in 2022. He will be sorely missed.
