RE: Residents Angry After Nuke Release
All individuals within the 10 mile EPZ of all nuclear plants in the
USA are provided materials regarding the 4 emergency classifications,
what actions would most likely occur within each classification and
other pertinent information regarding whom to call, where to get
information and what actions might be necessary for the populace to
take. There have been other emergency plan initiations within the
country, and generally, there is no big deal, or outcry as occurred
at Indian Point 3. However, we just had the JCO accident, and with
each subsequent event within the industry, there will be much more
conservatism required. In time, we might even need an evacuation of
the local community after each plant re-start! Silly as that may
sound, who the heck knows!
It will only get worse. It trouble me that we're probably seeing the
nuclear option in its death watch. The sad part ... the public
doesn't realize, or they just don't care at the moment, that this
country, as well as other world countries, do not have the capacity
or energy mix to replace nuclear generated electricity. When the
lights go out, they'll know.
