"Radioactive Tritium has Leaked From 75% of U.S. Nuke Plants —

Drinking Wells Were Contaminated in Illinois and Minnesota"

Do you really think the only problem with nuclear is in Japan? Do you really think the only time nuclear is a problem is during an earthquake or tsunami?

Nuclear is a ticking time bomb with continuous and ever-increasing warning blasts.

I read this article in the morning paper today but they had no link to it online. I found it at the link below:

Radioactive Tritium has Leaked From 75% of U.S. Nuke Plants — Drinking Wells Were Contaminated in Illinois and Minnesota

BRACEVILLE, Ill. (AP) – Radioactive tritium has leaked from three-quarters of U.S. commercial nuclear power sites, often into groundwater from corroded, buried piping, an Associated Press investigation shows.

The number and severity of the leaks has been escalating, even as federal regulators extend the licenses of more and more reactors across the nation.

...snip...

At three sites – two in Illinois and one in Minnesota – leaks have contaminated drinking wells of nearby homes, the records show, but not at levels violating the drinking water standard. At a fourth site, in New Jersey, tritium has leaked into an aquifer and a discharge canal feeding picturesque Barnegat Bay off the Atlantic Ocean.

...snip...

There were 38 leaks from underground piping between 2000 and 2009, according to an industry document presented at a tritium conference. Nearly two-thirds of the leaks were reported over the latest five years.

End the nuclear madness NOW. End ALL nuclear power NOW.

I'd rather live by candlelight until alternative sources reach maturity rather than poison the entire planet with nuclear.

Nuclear power. Lighting the world for the blind.
