I understand that he of vermont doesnt know how to lead the world in getting off rogers and joy and moving toward Global Energy as fast as possible the planet will be unlivable for organisms like. I used to say lets shut down Vermont Yankee in 2012 the promise that we may be sure that actually scheana cleans up the mast and much of our governor whos going to move us to removal energy and move to his chain Energy Future lets vote for change on november 2nd thank you so much. Peter shall. Do solemnly swear that i will be true and faithful to the state of vermont. Where there will be true and faithful to the state of vermont. Guy. Federal regulators now say that for my gang he is fit to be open for another 20 years or jeanne a bowler joins us now with the latest on this jena kristen late this afternoon in a Conference Call the n. R. C. Clear Regulatory Commission and now said they voted to extend for might lose his license the n. R. C. Says it will formally issue his includes a new license and a matter of days but under vermont law the Public Service board and the Legislature Must also approve a license extension. Are you going. On. Tonight on nightline a Nuclear Emergency a massive new exposure rocks a crippled reactor plant in japan prompting the greatest fears yet radiation catastrophe and a new wave of back to a should. Call out for this reactor up in smoke how dangerous radiation leaks can be a plant located on a seismic fault a smoldering disaster zone the latest challenge at the Fukushima Daiichi site a fire in the number 4 reactor thats right down here in the area just near the roofs were highly radioactive spent fuel rods are stored in this turn for the worse in reactor 4 after a day in which there was some evidence japan might finally be making some small progress as it struggles with the worst Nuclear Crisis since trolled. Lets assess the risk with Arnie Gundersen hes a Nuclear Safety advocate who consults with them on State Government about the month Yankee Nuclear plant mr gundersen is joining us on the telephone sir based on what you have heard this is reactor number 4 there was a fire there the other day what does that tell you mr gundersen ive learned from my sources that the radiation levels in the 4th reactor are so high that theyve had to evacuate the personnel from there. That indicates is that the fuel pool is running out of order and if the personnel are not there to keep it refilled it doesnt surprise me that radiation levels are increasing dramatically if the wind turns and goes the other way. I would suspect contamination not just in japan but but potentially korea and china as well unless time they have before this is catastrophic it can boil dry in a day so they have you know on the order of 24 hours to straighten it out Arnie Gundersen is a very sober assessment we appreciate your expertise you have experience building these spent fuel rods checks and we appreciate your expertise tonight i cant say i enjoy what im hearing but im glad were getting from someone who knows this so well mr gundersen thank you so much. I felt angry i felt scared felt very sad when i heard about fukushima because of the people there who were displaced and because of the contamination of our world environment. Those folks had to evacuate and god knows for how long i love this place i love where i live i dont want that to happen here. I dont want to see this beautiful paradise destroyed like that. In the United States theres 23 General Electric mark one reactors identical to Fukushima Daiichi for mining he came on line almost. To Fukushima Daiichi you know what. They have the same design. The same reactor same contractors worked on them and the same flaws and weaknesses. The containment structure designed to hold in all the radioactivity after an accident is too small by 986. 00 the nuclear Regulatory Commission had determined there were 85 percent probability that the containment would blow up and fail in the event of a meltdown. So much hydrogen gas would be released that the containment would be blown to smithereens and all of the radioactivity inside it would be released to the public. Shima show decide to percent 3 of. The regulators have known that this design is. Capable of withstanding an accident since it was built. During the middle of the crisis and hooper she went to each one of the key regulators at the n. R. C. A guy named chuck casto said this is the worst containment in the world. Well if a source containment in the world why are we keeping 23. 00 of them running here in america. The actual szymon daiichi was caused by an earthquake and the tsunami. But really at the root of it was that the earthquake knocked out the off site power and that the tsunami knocked out the cooling more pumps on warm me ocean. That can happen anywhere you can lose offsite power from the storm or from a tourist action and you can lose the pumps they call the plant from the same exact cause and so we dont need a tsunami we dont need an earthquake to cause that kind of a damage in an American Nuclear plant. Im here because i think this is very dangerous were facing the end of life as if it just about. When i heard that sent. It up i was devastated. I thought ive got to get erik at yankee because its 10 shelf the cliched. Or. Are all are. We would like to believe that you are just because. Im not reading. Everything that i know to do and all i have left is my body. Get in the way just say no. We will definitely be doing it together again. And amen a women a women. After me and when people asked me how many times have you been arrested and i say not. The afternoon. Today entergy sued the state of vermont in u. S. District court. Lawsuit claims that vermont should have no role in approving Vermont Yankee speech or after 2012 in the state of vermont i dont think its too much to say that this is this is an antidemocratic situation youve got a large. Wealthy out of state corporation trying to have its way and override the legitimate laws. Of a sovereign state and its a its a power struggle unfortunately for not being its size its a david versus goliath power struggle but. When weve got a lot of energy to fight. Its the 1st day of the Trial Corporation versus the state of vermont and there are many of us who lot of support the state of vermont in that legal battle we believe that corporations are businesses that operate in the state of vermont should be should be falling through bought long. This case just sort of puts a magnifying glass on wheres the power in this country where is it going is it moving more towards corporate interests or is it more in the idea the idea of a traditional participatory democracy is power lie with the people. This case demonstrates that struggle in very real ways. As the culture war rages on a baited the billionaire clos is only getting well youre there well is iraq 20 percent or 584000000000. 00 since the start of the and demick slash law how will this. Sheet covering and his exterminator underclass in the north. Secret prisons are not usually what comes to mind when thinking about europe however even the most prosperous can be deceived within this 0 zone there were 2 view houses were. Prison was located and the only people had access to the story for investigators hell they uncovered the darkest dealings of the secret services but i mean there you go read it nor in. Hockey seem a bit thorny yes or no for. Crying for justice on r. T. When it became clear that entergy was going to continue to operate past the end of its 40 year license which came to an end on march 21st 2012. We felt that it was necessary to. Take an action that would inspire people in the area not to give up. Not to allow themselves to be rolled over by this corporation. We are here to demonstrate in the most dramatic way we can that a gross injustice is being a committed by this rogue corporation the Entergy Corporation against the people the government of ramadi and the whole surrounding area where all of us are threatened by this reactor as long as it stays open and were calling upon the entergy to respect the democratic process in vermont and to shut this dangerous leaking accident plague plant down. There are times when you feel something so strongly that just holding up a picket sign or just attending a rally or demonstration is not enough you want to speak with your whole life your whole body and so we are placing ourselves in jeopardy jeopardy of being arrested and possibly jailed in order to make the strongest statement that our consciences call finest. Mistake years of life this day cares or future generations the very things that we need to exist clean water clean air the health of our citizens its all at stake and for what. For right now its just for corporate profit thats all it is. Its a power struggle about the will of the people to decide whats best for them. Its a political struggle about the basic fabric of our country. So this is about whether peoples voices are going to be heard. Yankee is shutting down a Nuclear Power plant will close by the end of next year of officials from entergy which for my yankee made a surprise announcement this morning. Todays an extremely tough day for us of interest and more importantly for the 630 employees that for my yankee earlier this morning we told these men and women the Vermont YankeeNuclear Power station will stop operating at the end of its current fuel cycle and move into the decommissioning process in the 4th quarter of 2014. This decision was based on the economics of the point not Operational Performance not litigation risk. Nor political pressure simply put the plant costs exceed the plant revenue in this asset is not financially viable for those of us and. Its not good news its a very sad day. Its sad because were worried about whats going to have more friends neighbors for the folks who have to move its going to be painful see them go Nuclear Plants around the country warmest financial pressures right now theyre getting old and Everybody Knows a cost more to maintain an old car than a dozen new car the same is true for a nuclear plant. All of them are going to require modifications from Lessons Learned after Fukushima Daiichi. Sankyo was going to need about 250000000. 00 of repair and replacement over the next 2 or 3 years to keep running and entergy didnt want to spend that money. Entergy new that for monsters were not going to allow this plant top arrayed unless it was in top notch condition. And they couldnt afford it so they pulled the plug on for a minute for economics but it was economics under the scrutiny of a smart electorate who had kept themselves in form for the last 10 years. The closing of Vermont Yankee is a victory for democracy. Entered you would continue to operate if it wasnt for all the hard work all these people did to make this happen. A win for david over. People power works we citizens have the ability to affect change. What gives me hope in all of this is that. In some little way our actions are going to inspire other. People say to make a wish my grandmother for her like you say get your grandmother did join our. And you know we have a victory for egging men that. I feel fortunate to be alive and in relatively good health and able to. Struggle. You can do what. You need kevin unity to do them sound then you can support one another and low fat head together. Theres no getting around the fact that the site where Vermont Yankee exists on the banks of the Connecticut River will remain as a High Level Nuclear radioactive waste endangering people for miles and miles and miles and miles around. Toxic legacy and what has been created is not going to disappear and it will affect future generations for a time. This is a technology thats fundamentally flawed i dont believe we should build a new Nuclear Power plant ever again and i think we should in an orderly manner shut down every Nuclear Power plant weve got. Beginning with all of these mark one designs that are identical to Vermont Yankee and identical the Fukushima Daiichi. Plant gradually over the next 10 years do it the charm to do it and shut this technology down to earth. Guy. He saw through at the garage but he saw you for good and he just knew other than that he meant for us who won. But on the better side going down the book on his soul that was dismissed. Instead of. Me emotional yes which resists him but a functioning hes just woken. Up to go chill the church. Will settle into business compassion and that. We think he minds be soviet soldiers because off the beach hes wearing. A huge wedge so sold out so its possible for a puzzle to put no more than the book in the new one like it on the show stuck in with some Russian Police force sort of us although. I know no crowd. No shots. Actually felt. Well its true no 1st. Point should your thirst for action. Lillys whats needed National Blood to start i know of any event image molested that solicit it was a propagandist you also. Heard from the regular morgue for your own or your partner are going to be moving from our. Body not law oh. My gosh i saw shakira herbalists lucifer mr delicious that im like i dont im just i have nobody it is not my achievement mr days. Its our 5 year plans were conceived lenient and carried out by the people themselves if the power would produce or even floor with the idea of making a film like this theyd probably be branded as crazy. And that was the sentiment during the war the soviets were brave heroes resisting the nazis thats going to change of course after the war once the cold war begins. I. Think that hollywood is a free clips with is strictly defined by the business and the other side is. How would i define hollywood is they call it the dream manufacture which i thinks true but i think equally its a problem in the fact. That the street party in London Bridge is antique over drools and ends in clashes with police we visit the area to find out why tensions flared so feel as if theyve been targets. For me i will return you know im quite peaceful other people will retaliate. And new york seizes highs month of shootings in nearly a quarter of a century the grim record comes as an anti crime unit was disbanded following demands to defund the police by black lives matter protests.
