The Department of Energy could stop open-air bomb tests at Site 300 under a plan for the nation's nuclear weapons complex. But some activists who showed up at a meeting in Tracy were not impressed.



Groups like Western States Legal Foundation, Bay Area Physicians for Social Responsibility and Tri-Valley CAREs set up information booths and lined the room with photos of Hiroshima and Nagasaki atomic bomb victims.



?There?s no such thing as a safe nuclear weapon,? said Jacqueline Cabasso, executive director of Western States, a nuclear weapons watchdog that says the plan would really cost $150 billion. ?This is just business as usual.?
