The Union of Concerned Scientists is a liberal political action group involved in issues of nuclear war, envrionmentalism, and other issues.[1] It was founded by physicist Henry Kendall, who was later to win the Nobel prize in physics. Its early work focussed on challenging the safety of nuclear power plants and intervening in their licensing hearing. They were one of the most active critics of Ronald Reagan's Strategic Defense Initiative. The Center for Consumer Freedom charges that they have been deceptive. [2]
