[ RadSafe ] RE: Public Opinion & Nuclear Project

[Harold Careway]

In fact Shoreham actually started low power testing.  Brookhaven labs (which
is near Shoreham) put out a public release supporting the plant and trying
to affect public opinion which did no good.

Shoreham, like Zimmer (in Ohio), was a debacle.

And what about the NPP on Long Island in the 1980s that LITERALLY was ready
to begin producing power when political pressures convinced the governor of
New York to stop it? The electricity ratepayers, as I recall, then had to
reimburse the power company for the cost of building the plant out of their
electricity bills for who knows how long (maybe even now). I know someone on
Radsafe will remember the name of the plant.
