U.S. Senator Frank Lautenberg (D-NJ) wants the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) to address safety issues at the Oyster Creek Nuclear Generating Station following super-storm Sandy. Today, Lautenberg fired off a letter to NRC chairperson Allison Macfarlane saying, “Three safety concerns have arisen at Oyster Creek in Ocean County, New Jersey, in the wake of Sandy.”
Opponents of the Oyster Creek Nuclear Power Plant were able to vocalize their concerns and get a load off their chest. However, other than having officials from the Nuclear Regulatory Commission present as their sounding board in Toms River Wednesday night, little else was accomplished.
The nation's oldest nuclear generator sitting in Ocean County will be topic A tomorrow night, when nuclear regulators come to town. Opponents of the Oyster Creek Nuclear Power Plant will be in attendance to talk about their ever-growing list of concerns.
The Nuclear Regulatory Commission plans to hold a public meeting regarding the Oyster Creek Nuclear Power Plant in Ocean County's Lacey Township this Wednesday night. The meeting comes in response to a loud public outcry heard back three months ago.
