Podcasts about indian point nuclear plant

Today, on the Hudson Mohawk Magazine, First, we learn about a new proposed bill to ban the dumping of nuclear waste from the Indian Point Nuclear Plant into the Hudson River. Then, we are joined by Kiani Conoly-Wilson of the American Farmland Trust to talk about a program that tries to increase local foods in cafeterias and classrooms. Later on, we have more coverage from Willie Terry from a Juneteenth event he went to in Troy After that, correspondent Nikolai Nagel-Dreby goes to the Honest Weight Food Co-Op while learning about a cupcake decorating class. Finally, this week's Talking with Poets segment by Thom Francis features local LGBTQ+ poets.

by Charles Lear, author of “The Flying Saucer Investigators.”Beginning on New Year's Eve, 1982, there was a series of sightings throughout the Hudson River Valley north of New York City by hundreds of people willing to go on the record. They reported seeing boomerang-shaped craft the size of 1, 2, and 3 football fields, that moved slowly, hovered, and turned on an axis. This is according to the first comprehensive book on the sightings, Night Siege, which was co-authored by J. Allen Hynek, Philip J. Imbrogno, and Bob Pratt, and published in 1987. One of the standout incidents in the book, covered in Chapter Eleven titled, “Close Encounter at Indian Point,” is a sighting by what are said by the authors to be security guards (they are all un-named) over the nuclear power plant on Indian Point, on the shore of the Hudson River in Buchanan, NY, just south of Peekskill, NY. Read more →

On Friday, April 30, 2021, the Indian Point nuclear power plant permanently closed. Located less than 40 miles north of New York City on the Hudson River, Alec and others worked for decades to shut Indian Point down. In this episode, Alec reminisces with key leaders in the fight: Paul Gallay, Richard Webster, and Joseph Mangano. Paul Gallay is the executive director of Riverkeeper, an organization dedicated to the health of New York Waterways. Richard Webster is an environmental lawyer at Riverkeeper and formally the Rutgers Environmental Law Clinic. Joe Mangano has studied the damaging effects of radiation for decades.

New York's Indian Point nuclear facility has faced a number of recent incidents including fires, blown transformers, and most recently detection of radioactive water near the facility. This hour, an update on the situation there and in Florida where the Turkey Point nuclear facility is under scrutiny.We also hear from WNPR's David DesRoches, who has been following the story of PCBs in Connecticut schools and in Alabama.Support the show: http://wnpr.org/donateSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

A new study at the Indian Point Nuclear Plant 25 miles north of New York found that the level of radioactive tritium in groundwater is 740 times higher than the legal limit.  New York Governor Andrew Cuomo says it's clear the plant cannot be operated safely any longer. Also: American killed in Israel by knife-wielding Palestinian; GOP elites hold secret meeting to stop Donald Trump; and Google secretly building a giant radio transmitter in the New Mexico desert.

Legal challenge to Indian Point Nuclear Plant’s license renewal, status of G.E.’s clean-up of the Hudson River, and Riverkeeper’s continued work to protect the drinking water of nine million New York City and Hudson Valley residents; guest Phillip Musegaas, Hudson River Program Director, Riverkeeper.

New York gubernatorial candidate Andrew Cuomo makes no bones about it.  He plans to shut down Indian Point Nuclear Plant if he is elected. As part of his bid for Governor, Cuomo published his long term energy plan, “PowerNY” in which he calls for the two Indian Point nuclear energy facilities to shut down in 2013 and 2015. He says alternatives can be found to the huge 2000 MW nuclear plant that supplies much of New York City's energy. The New York Independent System Operator Disagrees.  Listen to the show and find out the true story.

In April the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation denied Indian Point Nuclear Plant’s application for a water quality certification. In their 28 page letter, the NY DEC told the plant they have no alternative but to install expensive cooling towers to eliminate the plant’s impact on fish and fish larva in the Hudson River. Power plants of any type (not just nuclear plants) adversely affect aquatic organisms in three primary ways: thermally by heating the water, by entrainment where small fish and fish larva are sucked into the cooling system and are injured as they pass through, and by impingement where fish are injured by the plant’s intake but not sucked though the cooling system. The plant had proposed installing “wedge wire screens,” essentially large high tech strainers on the water intake. The screens would virtually eliminate fish impingement, and would reduce entrainment (according to the DEC) by between 72% and 76%. That was not a sufficient reduction in entrainment to satisfy NY State. They denied the proposal because: They said cooling towers would eliminate at least 90% of the entrainment, and They said wedge wire screens are still “experimental in nature” and unproven in aquatic environments like the Hudson River, and at nuclear power plants like Indian Point. They also stated Indian Point was violating the law by killing endangered shortnose sturgeon by impingement and entrainment. In this podcast I'll discuss all three arguments!
