As local Fox t.v. reports, on April 23rd Kevin Kamps of Beyond Nuclear joined Nukewatch of Wisconsin and other Badger State allies for a seven mile march from Kewaunee nuclear power plant, down the Lake Michigan shoreline, to the Point Beach nuclear power plant to mark Chernobyl's 25th anniversary amidst the on-going Fukushima nuclear catastrophe. In recent years, the two reactors at Point Beach represented a majority of the "red findings" issued by the Nuclear Regulatory Commission -- the agency's highest safety violation -- amongst the entire 104 reactor U.S. fleet. Similarly, Kewaunee had a majority of the NRC's "yellow findings," the second highest safety violation, more than the rest of the industry's 104 operating reactors combined. Kamps called for solar, wind, and efficiency to replace the three reactors, on the edge of the Great Lakes, 20% of the world's surface fresh water, drinking water supply to 40 million people in the U.S., Canada, and a large number of Native American and First Nations communities.
