U.S. seen approving N.Y. nuke evacuation plan

[Khephra]

NEW YORK, July 25 (Reuters) - Federal officials will certify an emergency evacuation plan for the Indian Point nuclear power plant in New York, brushing aside critics who argue it would fail to protect residents from an attack on the facility.

A Westchester County official issued a statement in response to reports Friday that the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) intends to recommend to the Nuclear Regulator Commission that the emergency plans for Indian Point be recertified.

"It is outrageous for FEMA to think it can override the counties who know more about the evacuation plan than anyone," said Westchester County Executive Andy Spano in a statement.

"We have told the federal government that the emergency evacuation plans for Indian Point are unworkable in a fast-moving emergency," Spano said.

1. A Crime

ANYTHING goes wrong here and millions die.

It should be shut down

[Wonder]

2. Facilities and Resources are much more PRECIOUS

than residence and citizens of any country, state, nation, annexed or occupied terroritory.

I am sure the WH, CIA and FBI have their shit together by now. With all those thorough investigations that have been conducted. Besides they already thought that part through last year remember?

An efficious Terrorist Warning Alert will go into effect which will give residence enough forewarning and allow plenty of time for all to ductape those garabage bags and retire to that small closet most all must have in their homes before the strike on the plan would occur.
