OPINION: NRC Heads Playing with Our Health and Safety

Coalition for Responsible Ethical Environmental Decisions (CREED), Residents Organized for a Safe Environment (ROSE), San Clemente Green, San Onofre Safety (SOS):

1.      Believe it is outrageous that the NRC commissioners are playing political games with health and safety of the American public.

()

2.      For NRC commissioners are trying to delay necessary safety regulations born of lessons learned from this disaster. They are trying to divert attention from their efforts to do so by picking a fight with the NRC Chairman. The issue is what is the NRC doing to improve safety, not who gets along with whom.

3.      Nuclear accidents are forever; radiation released by a single event can create genetic mutations and birth defects, and would bankrupt California.

4.      Our lives and the life all future generations depend on this federal agency acting on behalf of the people, not the nuclear industry, as these four commissioners are positioning themselves to do.

5.      That's why there is a California Ballot Initiative to shut down Santa Onofre and Diablo Canyon gatherings signatures right now for the November 2012 election, available at:  Californianuclearinitiative.com
