Nuke Plants Need Protection Boost

Nuke Plants Need Protection Boost

Lipscy/Kushida/Incerti, Plain Dealer
As superstorm Sandy bore down on the East Coast, three nuclear power plants were shut down and an alert was issued for the Oyster Creek plant in New Jersey. This is an important reminder that the United States has several low-lying nuclear plants on the Eastern Seaboard, with minimal protection against inundation. Particularly with climate change increasing the likelihood of extreme weather, this hidden threat to public safety should be remedied. . .http://www.cleveland.com/opinion/index.ssf/2012/11/nuclear_plants_need_better_pro.html
