- The threat of nuclear power plants has been mostly hidden from us by a very effective nuclear industry propaganda machine.
- They have told us that they are "clean energy," without mentioning that to this day there is no safe way to store or dispose of nuclear waste, which keeps accumulating in dangerous amounts.
- They don't tell us that the life of a nuclear power plant is relatively short (just a few decades), and that the cost of decommissioning them is extremely high, and the process definitely not "clean".
- And they don't tell us of the many close calls that NPPs suffer each year, threatening the lives of millions of people.
- A natural disaster or a terror attack, such an EMP event (caused by a giant solar flare or a nuclear explosion in the atmosphere) would fry the electric grid, unleashing the meltdown of nuclear power plants which need electricity to run.
New York State Indian Point Nuclear Power Plant still leaking dangerous amounts of radioactive material into groundwater used as drinking water by millions of New York State residents
Who needs terrorists, when our worst enemy is our own ineptitude.
An uncontrollable flow from the Indian Point nuclear power plant - 25 miles from New York City - continues to leak into groundwater, which leads to the Hudson River, the drinking water source for millions of people in the area.
RT reports - Health and environment commissioners were ordered by Governor Andrew Cuomo to begin an investigation into the leak of “radioactive tritium-contaminated water” at the Indian Point nuclear power plant after the operator, Entergy Nuclear Operations, raised the alarm.
One of the three wells in question, according to Cuomo’s statement, had “radioactivity increasing nearly 65,000 percent,” while in total the company reported “alarming levels of radioactivity” at three monitoring wells.
