Search for radioactive leak at Palisades nuclear plant



Brian Willian - Published on May 7, 2013

WSBT: Search for radioactive leak at Palisades nuclear plant ... WSBT visited a park not far from the plant to hear from people on the beaches. ... Palisades sits about a mile down the beach ... "That's not good, so I mean I get mad about ribbons and balloons, so radiation is obviously not thrilling either," Larmee added. ... Groups opposing nuclear power plants, however, say regulators and the plant's operator are downplaying the seriousness of the incident. "This plant is an accident waiting to happen, and it really needs to be permanently shut down before the worst happens there," said Kevin Kamps of "Beyond Nuclear." ...

WHTC: Nuclear Regulatory Commission officials said that 79 gallons of the tainted water had escaped, but by the time it got to the shore, it was highly diluted and posed no threat.

Businessweek: Saturday's radiation leak "most likely ... is not a public health concern," (Alan Jackson, a radiation health physicist at Henry Ford Health System in Detroit) said. "What's more a concern is why do these things keep happening?" "I would fixate on, 'OK, you have this problem. Why aren't you fixing it?'" he said.

Besides radiation is good for you and your children.

Just as long as NO CEOs or board members of the Nuclear power plant are bothered by the release of a bath tub of radioactive water, then we will continue polluting and making money off it, I mean, running the the corporation for the benefit of a few elite rich men, I mean benefit of all.
