over three decades helped make Germany the world leader of renewable energy. I
will also discuss two whistleblowers. Great Britain's physician and
epidemiologist Alice Stewart, recipient of the Right Livelihood Award brought
worldwide attention to the health effects of low-level radiation in an acclaimed
study released in 1957 . University of Berkley Professor John Gofman, who began
his career with the Manhattan Project and later jumped the fence and devoted the
rest of his life tirelessly opposing nuclear power. He publishing numerous books
and articles and testified to Congress about the catastrophic dangers of the
regular releases of radiation from the nuclear power industry that will be
remain as a toxic burden on thousands of future generations. </FONT></DIV>

face="Comic Sans MS">Fears over new leak at Chernobyl spark plea for radiation
shield <BR>By Shaun Walker in Chernobyl<BR>Monday, 28 February 2011
<BR><BR><BR>Fears that the destroyed nuclear reactor at Chernobyl could collapse
and again leak deadly radiation have prompted European agencies to seek hundreds
of millions of pounds to fund the construction of a vast steel building to
encase the site.<BR>As the 25th anniversary of the worst nuclear accident in
history approaches, there is a funding shortfall of €740m (£631m) for projects
to build a "shelter" over the destroyed reactor and to safely store nuclear fuel
from the other nuclear reactors at the site.<BR><BR>The new shelter for the
destroyed reactor is being funded by the European Union and the European Bank
for Reconstruction and Development in co-operation with the Ukrainian
government, but European officials say they urgently need countries to pledge
money for the project, which is under way but underfunded. They hope that a
conference in April, ahead of the anniversary of the disaster, will see
governments donate the missing funds. <BR><BR>Jean-Paul Joulia, the head of the
EU's Nuclear Safety Unit, said during a visit to the site last week that the EU
had contributed about €500m to various projects at Chernobyl, more than half of
that for the new shelter. The alliance is now hoping that individual European
governments, and Russia, will stump up more cash for the project. <BR><BR>The
explosion at Chernobyl's Reactor Number Four occurred on 26 April 1986. About 30
people were killed instantly, and it is estimated that another 4,000 died
prematurely in the aftermath, while many more still suffer health effects from
the radiation. In the months after the accident, a "sarcophagus" of concrete was
hastily erected over the destroyed shell of the reactor, with many of the
workers involved being subjected to life-threatening doses of radiation to get
the work done. <BR><BR>In recent years, the structure has become extremely
unstable, with experts warning that if it collapses, a catastrophic amount of
radiation could be released into the atmosphere. Stopgap stabilising work on one
of the walls of the sarcophagus has reduced the chances of collapse and extended
its life by around 15 years, but this might not be enough to prevent a
disaster.<BR><BR>...Even today, there is a 20-mile "exclusion zone" around the
Chernobyl power plant where inhabitation is prohibited. The other reactors at
Chernobyl remained in use until 2000.<BR><BR>Mr Dodd said that once the shelter
was in place, work would begin using cranes and other automated technology to
dismantle the old reactor inside. He said human intervention would be kept to a
"strict minimum" but admitted that some people would nevertheless be subjected
to dangerous doses of radiation. </FONT></FONT></DIV>

<DIV>
<P><FONT color=#0000ff size=2 face="Comic Sans MS">...Vermont Yankee is a case
in point. Soon after Entergy purchased the plant, they pushed for an "uprate,"
meaning that Vermont Yankee has been operating at 120 percent of its intended
capacity to produce power. In this time, we have seen the cooling tower
collapse, the leak of radioactive water from a crumbling underground piping
system, a condenser that needs a very expensive replacement, and countless other
problems. This plant has the potential for a catastrophic event.</FONT></P>
<P><FONT color=#0000ff size=2 face="Comic Sans MS">The huge volume of highly
toxic radioactive waste on the shores of the Connecticut River is another
potential source of a massive environmental disaster. Many areas have seen 100-
or even 500-year flood events as climate changes occur and water levels rise. Do
we have any assurance that the "temporary" storage for the tons of the most
toxic substance on earth will never get into the river water in the case of
submersion?</FONT></P>
<P><FONT color=#0000ff size=2 face="Comic Sans MS">The Nuclear Regulatory
Commission is supposed to have the exclusive right to monitor safety issues at
nuclear plants. We are not comforted by the fact that they only seem to regulate
after something bad happens, and then the regulation consists of hollow words.
The operating license of Vermont Yankee describes how the plant will not release
unmonitored discharges of radioactive water. Yet when Vermont Yankee and other
plants do just that, there are no negative consequences except when they are
caught and exposed by concerned citizens and the media.</FONT></P>

color=#0000ff>Let us learn from the nightmare unfolding in the Gulf of Mexico.
We do not need to endanger the future of our children and our planet to power
our lifestyles. Our society can make a decision to use power that does not
threaten whole species, the oceans, the air we breathe, the soil in which we
grow our food, and the rivers that sustain life. Even if the entire United
States is slow to grasp this, the people of Vermont can and must repower our
state and lead the way.</FONT> </FONT><FONT color=#ff0000>We can use solar,
wind, hydropower, and conservation and successfully shut down Vermont Yankee
before we live through another disaster that defines the folly of nuclear
power.</FONT></FONT></FONT></P>
