it does reach meltdown when there is an explosion. the chemicals that are going to be released are similar actually the chemicals released from other the radioactive chemicals released from a nuclear bomb disappear quicker then the radiation that is released in a nuclear power plant all we're looking at an apocalypse this is true and old coal on steroids do you think it's definitely going to happen or do you think crisis could be averted no i don't think crisis can be averted. a crack i mean i'll turn containment building a big baby spacey nuclear reactor could keep that power plant shut down longer than expected 1st energy says it will restart the plant until the crack displaced those

who live in the shadow of the dyspepsy see any problem can be alarming i don't give a whole line of thought back once in awhile when you hear something wrong like that the concern should. be 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 once plus these firefighters nearby like 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 the brother nuclear power really minor situation. radioactive tritium is leaking from 3 quarters of all u.s. commercial nuclear power sites and a cancer causing material often seeps into. on the water from corona dairy piping

that's what the associated press concluded after a year mom investigation. southern california edison says it will be closing the troubled 7 o 3 nuclear powered by a good landing in san diego county has been offline for months because of a mechanical recall. that led to trace amounts of radiation being a leave of absence the latest in a number of environmental problems of xenophobia of the.

vernon is the host. for mine a key. part of the. town environment is 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 of the state of vermont they think of dairy farms. in fields they think of maple trees maple syrup. they think of rivers and pristine lakes.

and we got a nuclear power plant right on the southern border. for my yankee welcome to romano . if people think that there is a radioactive problem at this plant in vermont our vermont brand is done. to drink our milk who's going to want to who's going to want to use our syrup who's going to want to come here and drive past that. they. have no. no no no no no to threaten my aid out as you know right now no yes no no i am not yankees that has to be.

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 feel it's 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. where we don't worry about the point of being here. i live 70 miles from the vermont yankee nuclear power and what that means in terms of any sort of incident or accident that might happen plan is that if there 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. i would lose my home 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 arcanite as they were to be done 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 this fighting of the atom and all of the consequences of it since night tain 45 when i heard about. the rape. i am a member of the shut it down authentic group a group of women that came together to shut down. with our batteries and action. is that hot yes. we meet once a month we have a pot like here my house and wave figure out what we're going to do and then we do it. vermont yankee is right now my focus because it's a very dangerous oh no clare power plant and if there is that accident at all make this area of knowing 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. 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 see if it was reliable enough to run for true 20 more years so i was chairman of the oversight panel that's looked into vermont yankee in 2009 we found 80 problems but if they cleaned up the 80 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 materials.

right now there are 1000000 people who are overweight or obese it's profitable to self. and sugary and salty and addictive it's not at the individual level it's not individual willpower and if you go on believing that never change this obesity epidemic that industry has been influencing very deeply the medical and scientific establishment. so what's driving the obesity epidemic. is your media a reflection of reality. in the world transformed. what will make you feel safe.

isolation or community. are you going the right way or are you being led so. direct. what is true what is faith. in the world corrupted you need to descend. to join us in the depths. or remain in the shallows. elgood forward to talking to you all. that technology should work for people. a robot must obey the orders given by human beings except where such orders would conflict with the 1st law show your identification you should be very careful about official intelligence at that point all v.s.e. is to face trust and then sheer. conflicting

theories chozen with artificial intelligence where. somebody. must protect its existence which. is. most trusted news source since the channel 3. more trouble for a vermont yankee a concrete trench that 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 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 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. parent company says it was miscommunication nothing more radioactive warder contained tritium lots of trivia but it also contained other isotopes he contained strontium 90 which is a bone seeker and causes leukemia because cesium $137.00 which is the muscle seeker causes heart disease it contains cobalt 60 which is a very high energy gamma source then a whole bunch of other isotopes in of 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 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 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 vermont 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 ated 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.

gone amok oh. my god we're the moderates 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 say and i 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 peter. 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. our 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 we engaged 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. deliberately sort of 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 that i don't know what else you can have as an indicator that reliability is a problem with a nuclear power has a place in the future of energy in america. we can debate that to a cows come home 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 to stop. another star yes from the star wars just under 5. 100 life or. so is a series of years for denise $26.00. when

the senate voted 26 to 4 in favor of closing vermont. 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 plant it it was understandable. the nuclear powers unhealable were to boil water. what really happens inside a nuclear reactor is of uranium out of the pops and in the process it gives off an

enormous amount of heat all it does is boil water big some steam turn to turbine and generator and electricity comes out but what's left behind after you've you have the 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 a true 150000 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 going to mention like a no falling scale so instead of having a huge nuclear power plant now the 1st really trying to get young people excited about the energy for power in different places so it's

a very much more local. there is surplus campaign is a student led arena station based out of middlebury college we got together right after the senate voted to close relying because we were wondering what's 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. taste awful. first then a 2nd wave coming now the virus is mutating 2 blocks away from the apartment and i would get confused. meanwhile patients who recovered from covert started to report

some unusual aftereffects the symptoms were different but. my hearing has been ok. one of the things i like research is all over the world are trying to determine the many pains and other problems and then turn it into numbers showing my hair. 1113 there is just throughout the day my hair just. various. didn't just leave for 35 percent of recovered patients. so. there have been many complaints of feral vision loss joint pain and fatigue in the us these patients are referred to as post coded long holos i talk to multiple doctors and my doctor and they said we have a feeling that you're going to have a hard time in recovery you're going to be one of those people that they consider a long haul or.

the world is driven by a dream shaped by one person. thinks . we dare. to ask. max ties us financial survival guide stacey let's learn a southfield let's say i'm not sure i get any earthly use. of the flight 9 while st scott thank you for taking. on the

story that's right. slavery. in the headlines this hour shopping centers food courts even an opera house just some of the places moscow residents can be vaccinated as russia ratchets up its coronavirus vaccination program. called germany and strengthens coproduced frictions nationwide as the country steps up its fight against the pound. and the stolen from spends his last night inside the white house washington d.c. has been turned into a militarized hours ahead of joe biden's inauguration to be the next u.s. president. i guess it's pretty intense but in doing so they close

a lot of pretty much the whole downtown areas to the barricades.
