Los Alamos Study Group

The Study Group was founded in 1989 by Greg Mello and others who met regularly and organized public meetings in Los Alamos and Santa Fe to discuss nuclear policy and related issues. In 1992, the Study Group began work as a full-time staffed organization. Throughout this time, they have contributed popular and policy leadership on Department of Energy (DOE) and National Nuclear Security Administration (NNSA) weapons laboratory and warhead issues, in which they have considerable expertise.

They have conducted hundreds of public meetings and hundreds of briefings on Capitol Hill and are strictly nonpartisan and factual. They anchor policy details in a broad historical and technical perspective. They have wide technical, legal, and public education experience as well as strong academic and work histories in science, engineering, law, and organizing.
