Nuclear money whore, and washed up has been politician Christine Todd Whitman who is now selling her services to the Nuclear Industry as the co-founder of NEI funded CASEnergy is out in the media spreading nuclear lies and propaganda...she launched her latest diatribe early this morning, and Nuclear Jesus found her vile filth over on the Nuke Worker site. We thought we would correct some of her bolder falsehoods here on Nuclear Jesus.
This slithering demon spawn claims in her latest drivel that Nuclear energy is clean. Claims it is the world's largest source of emission-free energy. Claims nuclear energy produces no nitrogen oxide, sulfur dioxide, carbon dioxide or other greenhouse gases. First, Nuclear Energy is NOT CLEAN. Just use Indian Point as one example. Said aging reactor site is leaking strontium 90, tritium and cesium 137 into the groundwater and the Hudson River which runs along the trouble plagued site. Additionally, nuclear is far from being EMISSIONS free, and this lying tart knows it. Lastly, if you look at the ENTIRE NUCLEAR FUEL CYCLE, it produces massive amounts of a host of environmental contaminants, including some of the most deadly known to mankind, and is further not a CO2 free energy source. The woman speaks with a FORKED TONGUE.
This nuclear harlot then goes on to claim that the nuclear industry accounts for all of its waste streams. Again, for convenience sake we'll use Indian Point. Right now, the site is being investigated for Tritium leaks. The licensee (Entergy) does not even know exactly where the leaks are located on the site, and therefore cannot ascertain with certainty how much radiological contamination has taken place. Further, if you get the chance, ask Christine Todd Whitman how many spent fuel rods have been removed from Commercial Reactors here in America, and stored in a licensed off site long term disposal/storage facility? Ask her about the COLLAPSING COOLING TOWERS at Vermont Yankee, or the TEPCO reactors that were wrongfully built on a Earthquake Fault, just as Indian Point was.
Not to worry, she'll assure you that all spent nuclear fuel is SAFELY stored in dry cask storage...these containers are approved for a period of 20 years. Further, ask her is she would care to discuss all the spent fuel rods in the leaking SPENT FUEL POOLS at Indian Point.
She moves on to talk about GNEP, and the reprocessing of these spent fuel rods...do yourselves a favor, and ask her if the proposed new generation of reactors (AP1000) are capable of using this fuel even if it is produced? More importantly, ask her about the FACT that GNEP basically assures that almost all of the world's NUCLEAR WASTE is going to end up RIGHT HERE IN AMERICA.
She babbles on about YUCCA as a safe place to store nuclear by products, showing her ignorance of recent studies showing the site to be UNACCEPTABLE for use...not to mention the fact that DOE is trying to build the site in sacred native Indian lands.
Her next major lie talks about defense in depth protection at nuclear plants. We will not discuss the piece of crap DBT for nuclear plants right now, but instead focus in on the NRC's attempts to greatly reduce SAFETY MARGINS for America's aging fleet of PWR reactor internals as relates to Thermal Shock...you see, they want to lower those standards for a simple reason. NONE of the PWR reactors can meet the current standards during their period of license renewal! So, rather than deny these trouble plagued reactors a license renewal, the NRC because of pressure from the nuclear industry wants to simply LOWER SAFETY STANDARDS.
HER BIGGEST LIE....nuclear is CHEAP. GNEP comes with a price tag of around $500 BILLION TAX DOLLARS. In the next two years alone, the nuclear industry wants $50 Billion in loan guarantees. The Price Anderson Act eliminates financial liability on the industry in the case of a significant accident (think Chernobyl), which means American property owners WILL LOSE EVERYTHING when the major accident occurs. So, nuclear energy is not cheap, and cannot exist without significant public financial help and sacrifice. As and American, are you willing to lose your home so that the nuclear industry can build a plant in your neighborhood? Are you willing to risk your child's health, expose them to ELEVATED cancer rates so that companies like Entergy can increase their corporate profits?
The sniveling washed up snit can spew her nuclear lies all she wants, but that does not make them true. Ask her how much she is PAID to spout nuclear propaganda to the masses, ask her how much of CASEnergy's funding is coming from the nuclear industry before you buy into her lies.
