Biographical notes:

Perry County, Mississippi is the site of two salt domes--the Richton Dome and the Cypress Creek Dome--both of which were under consideration by the U.S. Department of Energy as nuclear waste repositories in the early 1980s. On November 6, 1981, citizens who opposed the idea formed the organization Perry County Citizens Against Nuclear Disposal, Inc. (PC-CAND). PC-CAND battled proponents for several years until 1988 when the Perry County sites were dropped from consideration. The organization was disbanded in 1990.
