Close Indian Point Now
Published by Ross Weale on Oct 31, 2001
Target: Govenor George Pataki
Region: United States of America
Web site: http://www.closeindianpoint.org
Background (Preamble):
I demand that the Indian Point Nuclear
Power Plant be immediately
decommissioned.
The N.R.C. has admitted that the concrete containment buildings housing the nuclear reactors at Indian Point were not designed to withstand attacks by aircraft such as the type that terrorists used to destroy the World Trade Center.
Independent auditors have shown proof
that Indian Point has failed to prevent
intrusion by terrorists in mock terror
exercises. The Nuclear Control Institute and other experts on nuclear safety have warned that an attack on Indian Point could breach either of the two reactors or the fuel storage pool, causing lethal contamination of everything within 50 miles while impacting 8% of the U.S. population.
Indian Point cannot be sufficiently
protected to guarantee the safety of so
many residents within the fallout area.
There is no excuse for placing so many
lives in danger by the continued operation of this plant and it facilities in a time of war and into the future.
Power Plant be immediately
decommissioned.
