[ RadSafe ] Slovenia: Leak in cooling system of NPP

[Brennan, Mike (DOH)]

Of course, if the European Commission concluded that there was no need
to alert all 27 members Mr. Beranek would have been saying something
like, "Any situation which results in the European Commission not
alerting all 27 member states about the possible consequences of a
nuclear accident cannot readily be dismissed as something not to worry
about.

"In this case we hope that independent confirmation can be gained to
confirm that the situation is not under control and panic is
authorized."

"However, it stands as a testament to the threat that all of Europe's
nuclear facilities pose to its population and environment and beyond.
Those who are planning to build more nuclear reactors must heed this
warning and reject nuclear technology." 

And indeed, even if no event of any kind had happened, his message would
be the same.

         From the Yahoo article:

But Jan Beranek, Greenpeace International's nuclear campaigner, said:
"Any situation which results in the European Commission alerting all 27
member states about the possible consequences of a nuclear accident
cannot readily be dismissed as something not to worry about.

"In this case we hope that independent confirmation can be gained to
confirm that the situation is under control and there was no offsite
contamination.

"However, it stands as a testament to the threat that all of Europe's
nuclear facilities pose to its population and environment and beyond.
Those who are planning to build more nuclear reactors must heed this
warning and reject nuclear technology."

(end quote)

         My additional comment is that this sounds like a made-to-order
opportunity for Greenpeace to deliver another one of its hackneyed
anti-nuclear campaign speeches.
