20. Finally
I never thought I would see the day. I grew up in Ossining New York and I have a thyroid condition. Which I didn't think it was a big deal until I found this just recently;

http://thyroid.about.com/b/2009/11/18/ny-indian-point-thyroid-cancer.htm


. The thyroid cancer rates in those four counties around Indian Point are also among the highest in the U.S., with a rate of thyroid cancer that is 66% above the U.S. average, according to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention


No idea if my twenty years of living in Ossining New york, 8 miles from Indian Point, are cause and affect but it's not worth the risk. While I miss my home in Westchester county and glad I don't live close to this plant anymore. It has frightened people for years.
