Entergy Lies About Safety of Vermont Yankee
On the same day over 100 activists arrived in Montpelier, protesting Vermont Yankee, the plant’s owner, Entergy Corp, revealed that it had lied about the existence of radioactive tanks and pipes buried underground. The reason for Entergy’s admission? Groundwater tests showed elevated levels of radioactive isotopes in groundwater near the plant.Entergy Corp. has consistently proven itself to be untrustworthy and willing to lie about issues that consistently threaten public health and safety. Toxics Action Center has been working with residents across Vermont to build and show support for shutting the plant down. “Enough is enough,” said Jessica Edgerly, Vermont Community Organizer, “Entergy has proven their disregard for Vermonters health and safety. We’re counting on Vermont’s leaders to do the right thing and shut down the plant.” Those living in the shadow of Vermont Yankee want and deserve to live in safety, without worrying what damage the plant might do tomorrow. Toxics Action Center will continue to ensure their voices are heard.More information on the march, leak, and fallout:State rips Vermont YankeeYankee Admits Underground Pipes Could Be Source Of Leak
