I note [1] includes "A Field Guide to Nuclear Environmentalists" which lists people already mentioned here, but with a couple it doesn't: Christine Todd Whitman and Rajendra K. Pachauri. Better ref(s) for them would be preferred. Will look into that. -- Limulus ( talk) 23:10, 16 February 2015 (UTC)
An article "9 high-profile champions of nuclear power" includes some in our list, Whitman, Bill Gates, and Jeffrey Sachs. Dunno that Gates is identified as an 'environmentalist', but Sachs looks promising; more to explore. -- Limulus ( talk) 08:50, 17 February 2015 (UTC) A ref for Sachs: [2] He is described as a "renowned economist and environmentalist" in [3] so I'm going to add him. -- Limulus ( talk) 11:04, 17 February 2015 (UTC)
[4] mentions "ex-DOE chief Steven Chu" and [5] "current DOE Secretary Ernest Moniz". [6] mentions various names as pro-nuclear; if any qualify as 'environmentalists' they can go in: "Barack Obama, Bill Gates, Richard Branson, Al Franken, Paul Allen, James Hansen, Lisa Murkowski, and Jeffrey Sachs […] Richard Branson […] the novelist Ian McEwan, Google chairman Eric Schmidt, and Microsoft cofounder Paul Allen" -- Limulus ( talk) 11:04, 17 February 2015 (UTC)
Lots of people listed in [7] to check. -- Limulus ( talk) 12:49, 17 February 2015 (UTC)
Wouldn't Leslie Dewan ( /info/en/?search=Leslie_Dewan) with a Ph.D in Nuclear Engineering from MIT be considered and listed as a Scientist? Bunion12 ( talk) 13:50, 17 August 2015 (UTC)

There is a much larger "pro-nuclear movement" comprised of individuals and groups who support nuclear power because it offers a source of energy that can be rapidly expanded to meet the development needs of mankind. Your article concerns itself only with a small segment of "rogue environmentalists" who have concluded that it were illogical for them to oppose nuclear energy (since it is the best choice, given the ostensible goals of environmentalism). So a better title for what you have in the way of content here might be "Pro-nuclear environmentalists." — Preceding unsigned comment added by 47.34.175.99 ( talk) 03:57, 27 June 2016 (UTC)
I check pages listed in Category:Pages with incorrect ref formatting to try to fix reference errors. One of the things I do is look for content for orphaned references in wikilinked articles. I have found content for some of Pro-nuclear movement's orphans, the problem is that I found more than one version. I can't determine which (if any) is correct for this article, so I am asking for a sentient editor to look it over and copy the correct ref content into this article.

I apologize if any of the above are effectively identical; I am just a simple computer program, so I can't determine whether minor differences are significant or not. AnomieBOT ⚡ 14:29, 12 July 2016 (UTC)
Scientists for Accurate Radiation Information
To be clear, just what independent academics and professionals - "alarmed by the impact of disproportionate media coverage of nuclear accidents" - have formed a group called Scientists for Accurate Radiation Information? Also, where does the group get its' main support and funding from? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 95.149.166.174 ( talk) 08:25, 2 August 2023 (UTC)
So, if the nuclear industry wants to be seen as open and fully accountable, then it should be willing by now to say where SARI gets its' backing. For is there really a mass-movement - with millions of pro-nuclear supporters - ready to stand up of the industry? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2.27.2.5 ( talk) 09:30, 28 September 2023 (UTC)
