Closed Millstone Unit 1 should secure its Mark I roof top nuclear waste

Connecticut's Millstone nuclear power plant complex in Waterford, CT includes the permanently closed  Unit 1, a GE Mark 1 Boiling Water Reactor which voluntarily shut down in 1995 following safety violations exposed by industry whistleblowers and publicly disclosed in Time Magazine.

Unit 1 finished moving all of its nuclear waste from the reactor to the roof top storage pool in 1998.The Millstone design is identical to Fukushima Daiichi Unit 1 reactor in Japan.

Beyond Nuclear is calling upon Dominion Electric and the US Nuclear Regulatory Commission to move hundreds of tons of vulnerable nuclear waste into more secure onsite and fortified dry storage casks.
