  Activist Mary Olson, Southeast Coordinator Nuclear Information and Resource Service, Acting Director of Gender and Radiation Project

  Mary Olson holds an undergraduate degree in Evolutionary Biology and History of Science and has worked for 27 years on radioactive waste policy with the non-government organization, Nuclear Information and Resource Service (NIRS, www.nirs.org). She founded the new Gender and Radiation Impact Project in 2017. Olson has written and organized on radioactive waste and from 1999-2004 she was a registered lobbyist in the US Congress, working to stop legislative proposals for harmful changes to radioactive waste law. Olson lead the successful Stop Mobile Chernobyl Campaign that prevented legislation that would have mandated the shipment of highly radioactive waste to the disputed Yucca Mountain site when it was under study (not yet approved). For many years Olson worked with the No Dumps on Native Lands project to keep nuclear waste off the lands of Indigenous Peoples, including Yucca Mountain that is on traditional lands of the Shoshone Nation. Olson’s paper “Atomic Radiation is More Harmful to Women,” published in the wake of the Fukushima Daiichi meltdowns, helped the diplomats working at the UN to bring nuclear weapons under humanitarian law, embodied by the new Convention on the Prohibition of Nuclear Weapons.
