+A. Counterplan Text: Countries ought to enter prior, binding, and meaningful discussion with Indigenous groups about policy on nuclear energy production and implement any policies arising from that discussion. If the result is that the natives want to still have nuclear power plants, then the aff actor ought to retrofit existing nuclear reactors in the United States to use thorium based nuclear power technology and bury any nuclear waste under the ocean seabed. |
