WEB SITE FOCUSES ON NUCLEAR PLANTS AND Y2K

Date: 28 Sep 1999 From: Mother's Alert {mothersalert@yahoo.com}

http://www.geocities.com/mothersalert/

There is a new web-site, focusing on y2k and nuclear power plants, which covers in a uniquely clear and comprehensive way the possible impact of y2k problems on the safe operation of nuclear reactors.

Since y2k has been so down-played in the media, the issue of y2k-related loss of electric power and its crucial relationship with nuclear reactors has not become a topic.

On this site you will learn what is going on, and what you can do about it. Read some riveting articles, statements from honest experts, an official estimate of anticipated deaths and $cost of property damage for each nuclear reactor in the USA in case of accident, and the real truth about the lack of 100 per cent dependable back-up emergency diesel generators in case the electric grid does go down.

Get ready to be shocked. Yet, unlike with most bad news, here you will find a list of who to FAX, email and write to remedy this less-than- three-months-away problem we all face.

Let's get going on it!

Taz, I didn't have any problem getting to the web site. It's pretty clearly an effort to motivate people to demand more protections against the risks of nuclear accidents. I've copied below the page of links they provide in support of their views:

The CVX Decision: A Rare Opportunity

In the U.S., many people think nuclear power is dead because it proved to be too expensive and too unmanageable. But, this picture of nuclear power is incomplete. There is still one sector of the U.S. economy where new nuclear reactors are being built: the Navy.
