Nuke Plant In Illinois Leaks Radioactive Steam, Just Like Ginna Did
From MSNBC:
A nuclear reactor at a northern Illinois plant shut down after losing power, and steam was being vented to reduce pressure [...] The steam contains low levels of tritium, a radioactive form of hydrogen, but federal and plant officials insisted the levels were safe for workers and the public.
Phew! If they say it’s safe, that’s a relief! I felt much better after the Japanese nuke plant meltdown last year when the Japanese government and plant officials kept saying it was safe. Except it wasn’t, and still isn’t:
Live near a broken nuke plant or smoke for a year - your choice.
Today, the plant in northern Illinois is venting radioactive steam, just like Ginna did a few years back:
Not in my backyard? Too late...
We have the technology for large-scale AND consumer-level wind and solar. Why not invest in that instead of continuing the risky gambling with meltdowns and oil spills?
Is Rochester or Monroe County moving forward on renewables? Anyone know?
