	6	+Nuclear-industry spokespersons, U.S. government agencies, and nuclear scientists often state that no one has ever been killed or harmed by the operations of a civilian nuclear-power plant in the United States. For example, the Department of Energy website and its brochures state that the U.S. utilities has ve operated commercial nuclear-power plants since 1957 and “during this time, no one in the United States has died or been injured as a result of operations at a commercial nuclear power plant.” Yet by the time uranium mining finally petered out in the early 1980s, hundreds of Indian miners had died from lung diseases and cancers that physicians and secret U.S. Public Health studies linked to the miners’ uranium exposure. The Navajo Nation was littered with abandoned, open, and radon-emitting former mine sites—at least 1,032 of them. The United Nuclear Corporation mill and adjacent mine had become Superfund sites, and the cancer rate had doubled on Navajo lands. In addition, until 1980 untreated water was discharged from the mining and milling companies into the Rio Puerco at a rate of 2.8 billion gallons per year. Mine waste was dumped in piles where children played until the 1990s.

	30	+Part 2: Framing
	31	+
	32	+My advocacy is grief for the indigenous lives lost and harmed by nuclear power production. Affirm to grieve those killed and harmed by the production of nuclear power. Grief for these people brings them into our frame of reference and creates an ethical reorientation.

	39	+The role of the ballot is to vote for the debater that challenges educational spaces through exposure to previously un-grievable bodies. I’ll clarify predictable terms of art, weighing, and links to avoid ambiguity and spec debates that crowd out focus on the 1AC, but neg has no stable strategy for aff prep, so it’s unreciprocal for me to meet an exhaustive burden. Lastly, CX checks all neg theory violations. I will make concessions given the stipulations above. To clarify:
	40	+
	41	+Grievability is a social status that signifies a life as having value, and is demonstrated when we grieve for those who have died or been injured. It’s impossible to specify further, since grief rituals are highly variable across time and space. Exposing us to previously un-grievable bodies in the context of nuclear power is offense under the role of the ballot—examples of args you can make include analyzing other nuclear disasters. We compare offense in terms of how well debaters contextualize the social conditions that render lives ungrievable, and explain how grief destabilizes those conditions.

	43	+This role of the ballot is a prior condition to a new politics.

	74	+Grief is a key first step to solve – in spaces of failure and violence, grief does justice to the ungrieved and contains the potential for resistant political strategies in the real world.

	80	+And debate rules posit an ‘ideal speech’ which necessarily excludes other forms of discourse—I can leverage the 1AC against arguments that exclude it.
