A tremendous heat which scientists have learned out of control. Really. Seem to harness the air i was so excited about Nuclear Engineering because i thought it would solve the Worlds Energy crisis is exciting science to realize youve got the power of the sun inside that reactor and theyre sold all inspiring when everything works. To refer when making energy the problem is that everything does work with time japans Nuclear Nightmare continues a 2nd Hydrogen Explosion at the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear complex destroyed the reactors exterior all 3 daiichi reactors have Nuclear Fuel Rods that have been exposed to some degree so they are teetering on the edge of a meltdown. You need to sit. There. Nobody. Can get you in. The toasty warm period. Concerning that situation in japan im now joined live from vermont to some that were reporting at the moment that that all suggestions that a partial Nuclear Meltdown is now underway this is not a Nuclear Chain reaction this is not a nuclear bomb this is the radiation left over after the Chain Reaction is started because sort of sorts of interrupt but you say this is not a nuclear bomb but would 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 the radioactive chemicals released from a nuclear bomb disappear quicker then the radiation that 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 of. No i dont think crisis can be averted. Her containment building a big baby especially Nuclear Reactor could keep that power plant shut down longer than expected 1st energy says it will be stored in the plants clinton cracked displaced those who live in the shadow due to spend see any problem can be alarming i dont give a whole lot of thought back once in awhile when you hear Something Like that the concern should. Be Nuclear Regulatory commission is monitoring the situation. Indian Point Nuclear Energy Center in a condition no one wants to see with black smoke pouring out of these photos were posted. Social media has responders on sidelines 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 believe there are 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 bury piping and thats what the Associated Press concluded after a year long investigation. Southern california edison says it will be closing the troubled 703 nuclear. Good. To San Diego County has been offline for months because of mechanical recall. That led to trace amounts of radiation being leave of absence of the latest in a number of environmental problems that sent him over the. Vernon is the host. For mine a key. Part of the. Town of learning is a very close knit town. The people really care about one another. And were more than just neighbors its a great community. When people think of the state of vermont they think of dairy farms. In fields they think a maple trees maple syrup. They think of rivers in pristine lakes. And we got a Nuclear Power plant right on the southern border. For my yankee welcome to romano. If people think the. There is a radioactive problem at this plant in vermont our vermont brand is done want to drink our 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. Oh no. No. No no. He just has to go shut up shut up. And say we know right now. 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. In fact my youngest daughter lives down the road here well as the crow flies its less than a half mile from. Here we dont worry about the point of 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. 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. Lose my Home 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. And theres always a lot of work to be done our area and thats the way i have to live my life im francis crowe. And i live in northampton massachusetts and navy 3 years. And ive been involved in trying to say no to this fighting of the adam and all of the consequences of it since night in 45 when i heard about. The raid. 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 ok we meet once a month we have a pot luck here my house and wave figure out what were going to do and then we do it for my yankee is right now my focus because its 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. You 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 it said 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 thats looked into Vermont Yankee in 2009 we found 80 problems but if he cleaned up the problems we all signed a report saying for a minute 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. From. Small seemed wrong on one old wall just all. The world to be yet to say proud disdain you can get educated and in gains from an equals betrayal. When so many find themselves worlds apart we choose to look for common ground. Secret prisons are not usually what comes to mind when thinking about europe however he even the most prosperous can be deceived weve been. There were to view the houses were. Preserved was located only people had access to the story investigators covered the darkest dealings of the secret services but i mean. You graded normal. For. Justice on. Most trusted news source since the 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 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 when he made false statements. Parent company says it was miscommunication nothing more. To ward or contain truly him lots of trivia but it also contained other isotopes he contained strontium 90 which is a bone seeker and causes leukemia because cesium one through. The 7 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 trivium and all these radioactive isotopes can cause cancer. Why is the treaty and really 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. To not have undergone you know there are none. I asked for an obscure report i got it and i read and i said oh my god theres buried in underground pipe you knew when you read that that there was underground piping yes you ben misstatements have been given yes thats 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 youve 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 shook public trust and confidence and we absolutely understand it and then have a tritium 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. In a time of. A. Word gone omar 0. 0000. 000 martyrs were used to all the different seasons you put out some extra clothes its winter obviously that raise certain challenges but its not a problem that happen to be january so thats when youre walking. Out 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 i really appreciate the opportunity to have democracy ally in action are walking through the state. I am speaking on behalf of workers who today completed a 126 mile 11. Day 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 for moderates not to renew the license never mind 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 norma some of the 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. Spasmed i just want to wrap up the debate. Is in vermonts best interest to operate Vermont Yankee beyond its scheduled closing date of 2012. If you dont think that leaking tritium and cobol 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 that i dont know what else you can have as an indicator that reliability is a problem with a 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 math clicked us secretary please call the roll just on. The Northern Star he had us and the star will see us under fire. From the lifeboats no. There is a series of us here both the ears for the nice 26. I 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 out surprised again with the incidents that were happening at the plant it was understandable. The Nuclear Powers a hell of a way to boil water. Really happens inside a Nuclear Reactor is of uranium out pops and in the process gives off an enormous amount of heat does boil water make some steam turn a turbine and generator and electricity comes out but whats left behind after youve 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 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 ways. And then you bring it here. Where registering young birds to dimensions like smaller scale so instead of having a huge Nuclear Power plant will be thrilling trying to get young people excited about clean energy and power in different places so to me much more local. There is Surplus Campaign is a student led arenas nation based out of Middlebury College we got together right after the senate voted to close relying because we were wondering whats coming next what are we going to replace for a minute q where. Do you feel the best way to achieve our goal is to elect a governor who has a really strong plan. Tax ties or financial Survival Guide stacey lets learn about fill out lets say im the troika and your theories on greece banks of the fight wall street hot thank you for something. On the story thats right if you looked at slavery. As the culture war d rages on and they did the billionaire response is only getting well youre there well as iraq the 20 percent or 584000000000. 00 since the start of the pandemic slash law how will this fact shape take on the recovery and is a term that underclass been ignored. We go to work so straight home for. The top stories and not say after a street party in london bridges and the brooms and and singing clashes with police we visit the area to find out why tensions flare. So when we feel as if theyve been targets. For me i wont return the aids you know im quite peaceful both of the people they retaliate. Produces of skin whitening products come under. Good to racist Major Companies have now renamed their brands or pulled them from the shelves completely we put the issue up for debate the actual products should not exist they should not be marketed they are result of White Supremacy of colonialism i think if your word to remove white men can see what you have do you have to also read move
