crack i mean i'll burn containment building of the day the speccy nuclear reactor could keep that power plant shutdown longer than expected 1st energy says it will restart the plans until the cracks use linux to those who live in the shadow of dyspepsy see any problem can be alarming i don't give a whole lot i thought that once in a while when you hear there's something wrong like that concerns you. the nuclear regulatory commission is monitoring the situation in indian point nuclear energy 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 were playing 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 we're told he brought in nuclear power really minor situations.

radioactive tritium is leaking from 3 quarters of all u.s. commercial nuclear power sites and a cancer causing material often seeps into groundwater from corroded buried piping and that's what the associated press concluded after a year long investigation. southern california edison says it will be closing the troubled 703 nuclear power plant a good plan to san diego county has been offline for months because of mechanical. tubing that led to trace amounts of radiation being leaked but that just the latest in a number of environmental problems at 703 on the field. paul

burn in his post. count. for my. final meeting with the town of arnold a very close knit town. the people really care about one another. and we're more than just neighbors it's a great community. when people think a state of vermont they think at the. very farms. and fields they think

of maple trees maple syrup. they think of rivers and pristine lakes. and. a 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 brandis done. to drink our milk. who's going to want to use our sear who's going to want to come here and drive past that.

you. know. very much. right now no. no no i am not yankee just as you. shall. not yankees i'm saying that we know right now. there is no source of energy in this world that doesn't have risk associated with it in nuclear it is very very low so i feels 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 that's 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 they've always been a good neighbor i have children that go to the school which is also right across the street from my yankee. you don't move to vernon and live in vernon if you're 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 it's less than a half mile from the point and we don't worry about the poor being here. i live 70 miles from the vermont yankee nuclear 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 i've 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 should have to live with that sort of risk that's not acceptable. i have a passion for justice. there's always a lot of our going to. our area and that's the way.

i have lived my life i'm frances crow. and i live in northampton massachusetts i 93 years out and i've 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. it's that hot yes. we meet once a month we have a pot luck here my house and wave figure out what we're going to do and then we do it. for my yankee is right now my focus because it's a very dangerous oh no prayer power plant and if there is that accident

at all by this area of knowing and maybe all of new england uninhabitable for generations. and he started to run in 1972 it only had a license to run until 2012 in 2009 they applied to the nuclear regulatory commission to get another 20 years on their license so they could run instead 2032 the state of vermont asked me to oversee from a yankee and cyril was reliable enough to run for true 20 more years so i was chairman of the oversight panel that's looked into a vermont yankee in 2009 we found 80 problems but if he 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. in the united states presidential candidates debate the future of the u.s. and the world. stacy herbert dig into the burning questions of this election cycle . every week. student debt trade was money universal basic. and more catch up with running this sunday exclusively on.

in the troubled 19 seventies a group of killers rampage through parts of northern ireland that was coordinated loyalists attacks particularly catholic population in belfast tens of thousands were forced to flee their homes a mob was striking to put these attacks was a p.r. you see the police actually took part in the attacks so instead of preventing it they were active participants and the burning of coal streets in belfast at the take more than a 100 innocent civilians were unloaded as the review can seniors and we found out more i was surprised about the extent and its occurrence which the solution was involved in some of those cases that killers would later be named into the enemy getting i think it went to the very very top i think if he crossed the water where politicians you thought was going on and give the go ahead.

you know gone for it do 50 noise simply number 2 number one when you have no kids of you to complete you know moment to moment don't going to put. it in all the good that you need done the person that i've often used in the. call since i was in the uk at the flick are young and they all come up. at the edges and i don't want to prolong that we were in the last day that there's not a natural light at the finals or. something to motivate to. our senior son some of it to go back to the off also go to shows. local to the world put him in a hospital police or a little music pool at the new school. or new.

for the supposed to or mean or goes. to see a romance most trusted news source says but 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 100 times the level deemed acceptable by the nuclear regulatory commission the tritium concentrations are in sky high nuclear expert arnie gundersen says this is get 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 to underground pipes that vermont yankee originally claimed did not exist until after the 1st leak was discovered gunderson

was on the public oversight panel made false statements at parent company says it was miscommunication nothing more radioactive warder contained tritium lots of tritium but it also contained other isotopes we contain strontium 90 which is a bone seeker and causes leukemia because cesium 137 which is the muscle seeker causes heart disease they contain 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 through the human all these radioactive isotopes can cause cancer. why is the treaty in leak of concern to us groundwater down there is being threatened and potentially the river water is being threatened

. something needs to be done right now i believe that plan is on say we have buried corroded pipes that are way beyond their design life this problem is not only are mine yankee this problem is country wide 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 ip do you know there are none. i asked for an obscure report i got it and i read and i said oh my god there's a buried underground pipe you knew when you read that that there was underground piping yes you ben misstatements have been given yes that's right i was stonewall what has happened at her mind yankee is a breach of trust that cannot be tolerated in 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 statehouse. your word is all you've got to live by we have a lot of to do and we have to rebuild public confidence and trust we're operating a nuclear power plant and people expect that you know it is an industrial facility you are going to have incidents that's 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 trotty aged 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 that's unacceptable to entergy it's certainly an unacceptable to the public and that shook public trust and confidence and we absolutely understand it and then have a treaty in leak to ground water. adds to a lack of confidence we've said numerous times we apologize for that were embarrassed about that that shouldn't have happened.

they. were gone oh. my god we're the martyrs we're used to all the different seasons you put on some extra clothes it's winter obviously that raise certain challenges but it's not a problem that happen to be january that's when we're walking. i walking because it feels like a powerful way to stand

a message that it's time to shut the plant down. we're really excited to be here we're looking forward to meeting with our legislators in a little while and i really appreciate the opportunity to have democracy in action are walking through the state. i am speaking on behalf of walkers who today completed a 126 mile 11 day walk. and now i'd like to present you with a petition to the members of the remark legislature please retire vermont yankee on schedule no later than march of 2012 and a copy to you thank you piers. thank you to the marchers thanks to all of you in this room for coming to the people's 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 interest of the moderates not to renew the license step for my yankee and that's how i will vote. but there was an intense. level of organizing and behalf of the citizen activists there or we held public forums these senators match up are key to that we made phone calls would you be able to call them and talk to them about this we wrote an enormous amount of letters to the editor and gauge 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.

commissioner from when. i just want to wrap up the debate. is in vermont special interests to operate vermont yankee beyond its scheduled closing date of 2012. if you don't think that leaking. into the groundwater and the connecticut river and the environment of the state of vermont that every single for mano cherishes and holds dear then i don't know what else you can have as an indicator that reliability is a problem with the nuclear power has

a place in the 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 my clicked on a 2nd. please call the rule just. another star yes and the star was just under flight. so there's a series of. these for $26.00 was when the senate voted $26.00 to $4.00 in favor of closing vermont yankee it's 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 disappointed with the vote but not surprised again with the incidents that were happening at the planted it was understandable. the nuclear powers unhealable were to boil water. what really happens inside a nuclear reactor is of uranium out of pops and in the process it gives off an enormous amount of heat all it does is boil water big some steam turn a turbine and generator and electricity comes out but what's left behind after

you've you have use that electricity or these pieces and these pieces stay radioactive for a quarter of a 1000000 years. it is toxic poisonous to humans for 250000 years i keep saying that number 250000 years it's ridiculous it's mind boggling i'd 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 technology will take care of 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 waste. and then you bring it here. where registering it is simply mentioned like an oaf knowledge scale so instead of having a huge nuclear power plant the 1st really trying to get young people excited about clean energy is for power in different places so it's really much more local. there is surplus campaign is a student led arena station based out of middlebury college we got together but after the senate voted to close reminding because we were wondering what's coming

next what are we going to place for my new cubic b. field and the best way to achieve our goal is to elect a governor who has a really strong plan.

thousands of american men and women choose to serve in the country's military and the decision. every song came to a complete. the day that i was right. you know what they kill me and i see how it destroyed my life any screamed at me and he made me come in and he grabbed my arm and he raped me with his birthing if you take into account that women don't report because of the extreme retaliation and it's probably somewhere near about half a 1000000 women have now been sexually assaulted in the us military is a very very traumatizing have happened but i've never seen trauma like i've seen women who are veterans who suffered military sexual trauma reporting rape is more likely to get the victim punished them the offender and almost 10 year career or chose very invested in and i gave

a sex offender who was not even put to justice or put on the registry this is simply an issue of our in violent male sexual predators for the large part of target whoever is there to prey upon whether that's a man or when. the republicans have a reputation as knowing more about money than the democrats but the democrats are always very confusing and so bernie sanders. it's just out of a tradition he's talking about socialism which again is a it's a it's a model based on a in comprehensible all. non existent theory about money. and have a. system of. action and in knowing. there's

a number you know not. can if you had a way out all of them ok if there. was not a master plan a girl will lie about today only have a garage. because. the men that have. given given. give the newly married. our d. a soon alice are sure you know the noise they need the whole corn dog for. well not only your son i just.
