Plans for US nuclear stations were found in Afghanistan.
Sooner or later another of the 103 nuclear stations in the US will have a radiation emitting accident.
One of the only ways to insure that the next meltdown is not in VT is to remove the threat of nuclear power from within state borders.
Vermont Yankee used to be rated the worst of all US nuclear stations in regards to security.
Entergy Vermont Yankee in Public Service Board hearings said that if they did not receive uprate approval, they would likely close in 2006.
Maybe then VT may fulfill its energy plan and develop safe, sustainable sources.
Entergy now seeks to increase the amount of radioactive waste produced as they seek to increase by 20% the steam flow through the old reactor for power not needed in the New England grid.
Please help stop this from happening.
A thorough safety review on paper (Advisory Committee on Reactor Safeguards) is light years away from a thorough peer reviewed Independent Safety Assessment (a deep vertical slice into 4 or more safety related systems)
