RE: salem radiation forum 9/8
"Come into my parlor", said the spider to the fly.
Any one individual from RADSAFE who goes there is going
to end up cannon fodder. It will make for delightful sport.
This is how fervent antinuclears operate.
Unless RADSAFERS choose to attend en masse, it will be a
counterproductive venture.
Just my opinion,
Steve Frey

1972, is one of the nation's oldest and experienced
> safe-energy advocacy organizations. In his position as Staff Technical
Advisor to NECNP, Ray Shadis is responsible for tracking and addressing
nuclear safety and environmental issues at New England's nine nuclear power
stations. Four of these reactors are permanently shutdown and undergoing
decommissioning. Shadis' duties also include interacting with the US Nuclear
Regulatory Commission [NRC], other federal agencies, and state regulators.
His office also provides information and assistance to activists and
grassroots organizations across the United States. Shadis reports handling
nuclear information queries from as far afield as India and Japan, and from
a constituency that ranges from students to retired nuclear engineers.
> In 1995, Shadis founded the Maine environmental and nuclear-safety
group, Friends of the Coast- Opposing Nuclear Pollution. The organization
was successful in focusing regulatory, political, and media attention on
safety defects in the Maine Yankee Atomic Power Station which led to its
permanent shutdown in December 1996 and the decision by the plant's owners
to go into decommissioning in August of 1997. Friends of the Coast is the
only citizen's environmental organization actively engaged in the Maine
Yankee decommissioning. Shadis has served since 1997 on Maine Yankee Atomic
Power Company's Citizen Advisory Panel on Decommissioning.
> The UNPLUG Salem Campaign, founded in 1996, is composed of 84 local,
national, and regional organizations from all walks of life, from religious
to environmental to peace to college. Its goal is the immediate shut down of
the two aging and dangerous Salem Nuclear Plants. The UNPLUG Salem Campaign
also acts as a safety watchdog while the plants remain open. UNPLUG Salem
also works to promote alternative and green forms of energy.
> This meeting is free and open to the public, who are urged to
attend to become more informed on issues that can affect the health of their
family and children. Light refreshments will be served.
