ALERTS!!!!

“The number of children and grandchildren with cancer in their bones, with leukemia in their blood, or with poison in their lungs might seem statistically small to some, in comparison with natural health hazards. But this is not a natural health hazard—and it is not a statistical issue. The loss of even one human life, or the malformation of even one baby—who may be born long after we are gone—should be of concern to us all. Our children and grandchildren are not merely statistics toward which we can be indifferent.”

John F. Kennedy, July 26th, 1963

Alert declared after fire breaks out at Harris Nuclear Power Plant

From: ABC 11 News

(...)

"After the Japan accident and the big scare from that...this is something to be concerned about a fire at a nuclear plant power," said Raleigh resident Brad Henningsgaard.
The fire is the latest problem at the plant. It just went back online last month after the Nuclear Regulatory Commission shut it down after a flaw was found in the reactor. It was also taken offline in May, when an inspection revealed early signs of corrosion in the reactor's vessel.
"I hope that Duke pulls this together and gets this thing straight," said Henningsgaard.
"It's a nuclear power plant and it poses a danger to the surrounding area," added Raleigh resident Peter Henkel.
People are concerned considering how many incidents have happened within a one-year time span, but Duke Energy Progress is trying to reassure the public the plant is safe.
