NRC webinar on Entergy Palisades' "recent through-wall leaks," Sat., Jan. 12, 11 AM to 12 Noon Eastern -- please take part!
What may be Entergy's most dangerous reactor of all -- problem-plagued Palisades in southwest Michigan -- is receiving very well deserved public scrutiny. Responding to pressure from Beyond Nuclear and its allies living in the shadows of Palisades, NRC has agreed to hold its second public webinar in three months. This webinar -- like the first on October 1, 2012, which had 80 public participants -- will focus on "recent through-wall leaks" at Palisades. On August 12, 2012, a safety-critical control rod drive mechanism through-wall leak was announced. In September, 2012, another through-wall leak was admitted, this time on a safety-significant service water system valve. The 46 year old Palisades atomic reactor is suffering "a leak a week" and a "breakdown per month." Critics are calling for its shutdown, before it melts down.
Please help us hold NRC's feet to the fire, by attending the webinar on Sat., Jan. 12th from 11 AM to 12 Noon Eastern. You must register in advance by Fri., Jan. 11th.
