All about us

Mothers for Nuclear was started on Earth Day in 2016 by two moms who want to protect their children’s future on this planet. They were initially skeptical of nuclear, but through many years of questioning and working at California’s last remaining nuclear plant, they gradually changed their minds. Now they support nuclear as our largest and most hopeful source of clean energy, vital to addressing some of our world’s biggest challenges: climate change, air pollution, and energy poverty.


Heather’s and Kristin’s Stories

Heather Hoff

Over the years I’ve grown to love Diablo Canyon and to see nuclear power as essential to solving climate change and leaving a better world for future generations.

Kristin Zaitz

Support for nuclear power is not something that comes naturally to the friends of mine who are herbalists and home-schoolers and mid-wives, but they love me and trust me. What I find most moving is the willingness of everyone to not just listen but also ask questions.
