Niantic
River Road: Cancer Alley?
On September 22, 2006, Martha Louise Crowell, of 250 Niantic
River Road, passed away at the Lawrence & Memorial
Hospital in New London. She was 77. She was a deeply respected
member of the community and a dearly beloved grandmother.
In an obituary published in The New London Day, her family
asked that donations in her memory be made to the American
Cancer Society - Making Strides Against Breast Cancer.
We extend our sincere condolences to the family of Martha
Louise Crowell at this time of sorrow.
We must ask: Is living on Niantic River Road a cancer
death sentence?
Why is Niantic River Road "cancer alley"?
Are the deaths on Niantic River Road necessary?
Is Millstone responsible? If so, there is a cure: SHUT
IT DOWN!
Do
the Right Thing DPUC!
Connecticut's
Nuclear Whistleblower Act guarantees that a Millstone
employee who has been fired because he raised safety issues
must be reinstated to his job or an equivalent.
Dominion fired Sham Mehta - under a ruse contrived by
lawyers that his job was eliminated in a legitimate corporate
reorganization - because he was dedicated to safety.
Sham Mehta shook the nuclear industry with his disclosure
that Dominion routinely shuts down its security system
to save money. He didn't know he would risk his job to
protect the public.
By law, DPUC should have ordered Sham reinstated 9 months
ago.
But DPUC - all Rowland-Rell appointees - is an outlaw
agency. To date, it has treated Sham and the public with
contempt.
DPUC: The whole world is watching you.
Do the right thing DPUC: Order Sham reinstated with full
privileges and nuclear access as the law requires!

Millstone:
Too Hot to Handle in the Heat?
It has been estimated that the energy in the waste heat
released into the Long Island Sound by the Millstone Nuclear
Power Station on an annual basis is equivalent to all
the home heating oil used on Connecticut homes for a year.
The Union of Concerned Scientists has calculated that
two-thirds of the energy created by the fission process
at nuclear power plants such as Millstone is wasted.
Whatever happened to: Waste not, want not.
USC has also assessed how summer heat can affect the safety
of nuclear power plants such as Millstone. Under the right
conditions, a summer heat wave can lead to nuclear meltdown.
