Oyster Creek: The Truth Revealed

Wednesday, April 25, the Cornucopia Network of NJ will be sponsoring a marvelous opportunity. Richard Webster, a board member, will speak about "Oyster Creek: The Truth Revealed" at 7:30 at the Fire Station Auditorium at 1 Pine Street in Montclair. To get to the Auditorium from Grove Street Montclair, turn left (east) onto Glen Ridge Avenue, one block north of Bloomfield Avenue.
At the first light turn right onto Pine Street (which also intersects Bloomfield Avenue, but is harder to find that way). Park in the Bay Street station lot on your left. The fire station is just to its right, and you can either walk up one flight of stairs or take an elevator to the auditorium on the second floor.
Oyster Creek is the nation's oldest operating nuclear power plant. It need not meet modern safety standards for renewal. There are signs of decay from the original standards of 40 years ago. Its license renewal is being thwarted only by a legal challenge by six citizens' groups.
Citizen pressure on the NRC and politicians can matter.
Richard is the lawyer at the Rutgers Environmental Law Clinic representing these six citizen groups, and he has found very odd (and
disturbing) facts in his legal research. He was an environmental consultant for years after earning an undergraduate degree in physics and a master's in hydrology. This will be another gripping evening.
A flyer can be provided, we would be glad to have you post it wherever you can.
