Shedding light on NRC's nuke waste con game

Dr. Lewis Cuthbert, President of ACE (the Alliance for a Clean Environment) and, along with his wife Donna, longtime Limerick nuclear power plant watchdogs, has written an excellent Op-Ed to the Pottstown Mercury News.

Given Limerick's proximity to Philadelphia, and surrounding population density, the twin reactors' risks are among the worst in the U.S.

As identified in Beyond Nuclear's "Freeze Our Fukushimas" pamphlet, Limerick Units 1 & 2 are General Electric Mark IIs, very similar in design to Fukushima Daiichi Unit 1 to 4's Mark Is. Since the beginning of the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear catastrophe, Beyond Nuclear has joined with large numbers of grassroots allies living in the shadows of the 31 Mark Is and IIs in the U.S., calling for their immediate, permanent shutdown.

Beyond Nuclear maintains a website section on the "Freeze Our Fukushimas" campaign.
