Started sort of sorts of interrupt but you say this is not a nuclear bomb but would not the effects be the same as a nuclear bomb if obviously it does reach meltdown and there is an explosion. The chemicals that are going to be released are similar actually the chemicals released from other radioactive chemicals released from a nuclear bomb disappear quicker than the radiation is released in a Nuclear Power plant all were looking at an apocalypse this is true and noble on steroids do you think its definitely going to happen or do you think crisis could be averted no i dont think crisis can be averted. Containment building of the davis massey Nuclear Reactor could keep that power plant shutdown longer than expected 1st energy says it will restart look Lance Clinton cracked display just those who live in the shadow of dyspepsy see any problem can be alarming i dont give a whole line of thought that once in a while when you hear theres something wrong like that concerns you. The Nuclear Regulatory commission is monitoring the situation in. Indian Point NuclearEnergy Center in a condition no one wants to see with black smoke pouring out of these photos were posted on social media as responders on site ones plus these firefighters nearby her client went in to find a transformer turning. New York Governor Andrew Cuomo came to see the response up close for himself this was a relatively minor situation but when youre talking about a Nuclear Power really minor situation. Radioactive tritium is leaking from 3 quarters of all u. S. Commercial Nuclear Power sites to cancer causing material often seeps into groundwater from corroded very piping and thats what the sociedad press concluded after a year long investigation. Southern california edison says it will be closing the troubled 703 Nuclear Power plant a good one to San Diego County has been offline for months because of mechanical. That led to trace amounts of radiation being leaked but that just the latest in a number of environmental problems at 703 over. Will. Burn in his post. Count for my. Part in the enclosure the town of arnold is very close to the town and the people really care about one another. And were more than just neighbors its a great community. When people think a state of vermont they think a dairy farms malins. In fields. They think of maple trees maple syrup. They think of rivers and pristine lakes. And. The Nuclear Power plant right on the southern border. For my yankee welcome to remind. People. That there is a radioactive problem at this plant in vermont are vermont brand this done. On a drink on milk whos going to want to whos going to want to use our sear whos going to want to come here and drive past that. No. Doubt. Right now no. No no were not yankees as you. Shall. Not yankees im saying that we know right now to shut up shop. Very much. There is no source of energy in this world that doesnt have risk associated with it in nuclear it is very very low so i feel its a very Safe Technology our job is to protect Public Health and safety and never have an accident that jeopardizes Public Health or safety so thats with us every day people like me come in here in the 650. 00 men and women that work here that is our focus the safe operation of this plant. I live right across the street from Vermont Yankee and theyve always been a Good Neighbor i have children that go to the school which is also right across the street from my yankee. You dont move to vernon and live in vernon if youre worried about the point both our girls live in town or 6 grandchildren live in town in fact my my youngest daughter lives down the road here well as the crow flies its less than a half mile from the point and we dont worry about the poor being here. I live 70 miles from the Vermont YankeeNuclear Power plant and what that means in terms of any sort of incident or accident that might happen in that plan is that if it was a serious incident most likely i would no longer be able to live in my home the whole area would be contaminated if you look from fukushima. I would lose my home and my community where ive been for the last 30 years of my life and i would have to relocate to some other place it would be a complete disaster. People shouldnt have to live with that sort of risk. Thats not acceptable. I have a passion for justice. Theres always a lot of our going to be. Our year and thats the way i have to live my life. Im frances crow. And i live in northampton massachusetts i 93 years out and ive been involved in trying to say no to the spending of the adam and all of the consequences of it since 1945 when i heard about hiroshima on the radio i am a member of the shut it down Affinity Group a group of women that came together to shut down for me with our batteries and action. Is that hot yes ok we meet once a month we have a pot like here my house and wave figure out what were going to do and then we do it. As for my yankee is right now my focus because its a very dangerous oh no claire power plant and if there is that accident at all by this area of knowing good and and maybe all of new language and uninhabitable for generations. You started to run in 1972 it only had a license to run until 2012 well in 2009 they applied to the Nuclear Regulatory commission to get another 20 years on their license so they could run it said 2032 the state of vermont asked me to oversee for a minute and see if it was reliable enough to run for true 20 more years so i was chairman of the Oversight Panel thats looked into Vermont Yankee in 2009 we found 80 problems but if they cleaned up the problems we all signed a report saying reminding he could run for another 20 years. There a year later we found out that they were lying to us entergy on a number of occasions including under oath before our Public Service board. Denied the existence of. Underground piping carrying radioactive material. We go to work so you stay home. So you need for good in each other than those of us who want to. Put on the put. The book on useless all that business and just. Instead of. Running t. V. Months go out youll still be stuck or your muscles in the course but you need. To. Chill the fuck should. Come from business compassion. We think he minds be soldier because off the boots hes wearing. To church so the sold out so its a move or a pause will appear with. The sure stuff in the summarizing the police force sort of all the. Most trusted news source since then channel 3. More trouble for Vermont Yankee a concrete trench at the plant is unexpectedly filling up with radioactive water radioactive water discovered in a concrete ditch at the Nuclear Plant contains high levels of tritium the tritium found at the plant is a 100 times the level deemed acceptable by the Nuclear Regulatory commission the tritium concentrations are in sky high Nuclear ExpertArnie Gundersen says this is yet another indication the aging play it should close this is either a leak in a pipe or a leak in the tank that pipe connects underground pipes that Vermont Yankee originally claimed didnt. Exist until after the 1st leak was discovered gunderson was on the public Oversight Panel made false statements after g. M. Parent company says it was miscommunication nothing more the radioactive warder contained tritium lots of tritium but it also contained other isotopes he contained strontium 90 which is a bone seeker and causes leukemia because cesium 137 which is a muscle seeker causes Heart Disease and it contains cobalt 60 which is a very high energy gamma source then a whole bunch of other isotopes minimal all of those started to work their way into the soil and has definitely entered the Connecticut River trivium and all these radioactive isotopes can cause cancer. Why is the tritium leak of concern to us ground water down there is being threatened and potentially the river water is being threatened something needs to be done right now. I believe that planners and say we have buried corroded pipes that are way beyond their design life. This problem is not only for my yankee this problem is countrywide maybe worldwide. We were told Crystal Clear that there were no buried underground pipes that contain radioactivity how many other plants. Do not have undergone you know there are no. I asked for an obscure report i got it and i read and i said oh my god theres a buried underground pipe you knew when you read that that there was undergo piping yes you ben misstatements have been given yes thats right i was stonewall what has happened that Vermont Yankee is a breach of trust that cannot be tolerated. You know order to move forward on whether or not the plan will continue to operate questions need to be answered changes need to be made and the trust of vermonters must be restored we were now being lied to and lied to under oath on record and in vermont and in vermont and especially in the state house your word is all you got to live by we have a lot of going and to do and we have to rebuild Public Confidence and trust were operating a Nuclear Power plant and people expect that you know it is an Industrial Facility you are going to have incidents thats just a fact of life. We drilled approximately 23 wells in this area so that we can triangulate and pinpoint the source of the leak by obviously the highest concentration of 28 in water in this particular well we just did not do a good job of presenting information complete and Accurate Information to the vermont Public Service board and thats unacceptable dandruff certainly on an unacceptable to the public and that shock public trust and confidence and we absolutely understand it and then have a treaty in leak to groundwater. Adds to a lack of confidence weve said numerous times we apologize for that were embarrassed about that. That shouldnt have happened. Anyway im. Gonna walk 0. 000. 000 martyrs who are used to all the different seasons you put out some extra clothes its winter obviously that raise certain challenges but its not a problem it happened to be january so thats when the walking. I walking because it feels like a powerful way to stand up mass said that its time to shut the plant down. Were really excited to be here were looking forward to meeting with our legislators in a little while and up really appreciate the opportunity to have democracy ally in action are walking through the state. I am speaking on behalf of walkers who today completed a 126 mile 11. A walk. And now id like to present you with a petition to the members of the ramada Legislature Please retire Vermont Yankee on schedule no later than march of 2012 and a copy to you thank you peter. Thank you to the marchers thanks to all of you in this room for coming to the peoples house the greatest democracy in america and letting us hear your voices on this important issue i have concluded that it is in the best interests of vermonter its not true a new license separate my yankee and thats how i will vote. There was an intense level of organizing and behalf of the citizen activists. We held public forums. Your senators match and our key that we made phone calls would you be able to call them and talk to them about this we wrote normal amount of letters to the editor and we engage people from all across the state and all across the political spectrum to call for our legislature to vote no on continued operation of Vermont Yankee beyond march of 2012. Spasmed i just want to wrap up the debate. Is even from odds best interests to operate Vermont Yankee beyond its scheduled closing date of 2012. If you dont think that leaking tritium and cobalt into the ground water and the Connecticut River and the environment of the state of vermont that every single for mano cherishes and holds dear then i dont know what else you can have as an indicator that reliability is a problem with the Nuclear Power has a place in a future of energy in america. We can debate that 2 accounts come what we should not be debating is whether we can extend the life of our e. G. Nuclear power plants beyond their design life this is crazy stuff and i felt very strongly that it was the wrong thing to do for a match like justice secretary please call the roll to stunt under the stars he had us and the star will see us under fire. From the lifeboats no. Please a series of us are both the ears for the nice 26. Was the senate voted 26. 00 to 4. 00 in favor of closing Vermont Yankee its really a testament to all of the work that citizens did over the course of several years over the course of decades our voice as the people as as as the people of vermont is what matters. Well you know we were just. Pointed with a vote surprised again with the incidents that were happening at the plant it was understandable. To Nuclear Power is a hell of a way to boil water. What really happens inside a Nuclear Reactor is of uranium out pops and in the process it gives off an enormous amount of heat does it boil water make some steam and turn a turbine and generator and electricity comes out but whats left behind after you do you have use that electricity or these pieces and these pieces stay radioactive for a quarter of a 1000000 years. That is toxic poisonous to humans for 250000 years i keep saying that number 250000 years its ridiculous its mind boggling id be the 1st to acknowledge that is the achilles heel of the Nuclear Industry nuclear waste. There is no answer to this they keep telling us oh no technology will take Care Technology technology is not taking care of it and if you cannot take care of the waste and you cannot manage the ways then the only responsible thing is to stop producing the ways. And then you bring in here. Where registering young voters to the dimensions like i know smaller scale so instead of having a huge Nuclear Power plant now the 1st really trying to get young people excited about clean energy is for power in different places so its a very much more local. 3 Surplus Campaign is a student led arenas nation based out of Middlebury College we got together but after the senate voted to close very naive because we were wondering whats coming next what are we going to replace for mining cubit. The field and the best way to achieve our goal is to elect a governor who has a really strong plan. You cannot be both with yeah you what. Was needed national was the start of it when he believes molested that solicit it was a president use you also his cue cards you heard from are your mortgage your home or your Partner Group or provide. A hot. Water source like you would overdose lucid. I miss it always just that im like i dont im just going nobody it is not my achievement mr davies are 5 you have plans for conceived by lineage and carried out by the people themselves if alan would produce or even florek it with the idea of making a film like this theyd probably be branded as crazy.
