In an extensive and detailed 2011 report by The Associated Press, we learn that 75% of nuclear power plants leak radioactivity. It must be worse by now in 2016. Npp's leak radiation 24/7 - into our air, water, soil, food, bodies, everything. Beyond Nuclear cautions that there is no safe dose of ionizing radiation.
"A group of engineers within the U.S. nuclear power regulator is concerned that a design flaw in nearly all U.S. nuclear plants could endanger emergency core cooling systems. The group has urged the regulator to order power station operators to either fix the problem or face mandatory shutdowns." Article is posted on Reuters, March 1, 2016.
Arnie Gundersen on CCTV, (video and transcript) about his February 2016 Japan trip says, "We had one woman who ran from her house to evacuate carrying her dog. About a day after the accident, they realized that she needed to be evacuated. And so she runs barefoot to her car, gets in her car, drives to the resettlement community. She's highly radioactive. They make her -- especially her feet -- they make her take her socks off and take showers, wash her down before they let her in. And her feet were black for three years from radiation damage. And that's not being spoken about in any of the medical journals."
Five Nuclear Power Plant Flashpoints - Call For Their Close Now, While You Are Still Running
Turkey Point Nuclear Generating Station, Florida - Florida Power & Light Company - unit 3 expires July 19, 2032; unit 4 expires April 10, 2033
1. "Turkey Point Nuclear Plant Is Pumping Polluted Water Into Biscayne Bay" says an article in Miami New Times on March 8, 2016. " As Florida Power & Light finalized plans to expand its nuclear reactors at Turkey Point three years ago, critics were aghast. The nuclear plant already stands on environmentally fragile land, and upping the power production would seriously threaten the ecosystem, they argued. Turns out they may have been right. This morning, the county released the results of a study into whether Turkey Point has been leaking dangerous wastewater into Biscayne Bay. County water monitors found more than 200 times the normal levels of tritium, a radioactive isotope linked to nuclear power production, in the bay water, a finding environmentalists say justifies their concerns"
In a you tube published March 30, 2016, titled "'Power or water?': Nuclear leak heading towards aquifer near Miami", Marina Portnaya from RT America, reports that "Elevated levels of ammonia, phosphorous and radioactive compounds have been detected in cooling canals connected to the Turkey Point Nuclear Plant south of Miami, Florida, and are approaching the Biscayne Aquifer. Environmentalists have threatened to sue the company responsible, citing violations of the Clean Water Act."
2. Pilgrim Nuclear Power Station, Massachusetts [where I live] - Entergy Nuclear Operations - was to expire June 8, 2032; will close May 31, 2019
