The Fukushima Daiichi meltdowns inspired this grassroots action. It was intensified by the August 23 magnitude 5.8 earthquake that caused 2 reactors at Virginia’s North Anna plant to shut down. Twelve reactors up and down the eastern US reported “unusual events” to the NRC.
Then, on August 28, Hurricane Irene demonstrated powerfully that electrical power and transportation routes can be disrupted over a very large area-for days and weeks.
In NY, the aging, 40-year old Indian Point nuclear reactors owned by Entergy, and under consideration by the Obama Administration for additional 20-year relicensing, are located very near 2 fault lines, just north of NYC in a very densely-populated area. Twenty million people live within 50 miles of Indian Point in New York, New Jersey and Connecticut.
