Why were studies canceled?

https://beyondnuclearinternational.org/2023/03/12/why-were-studies-canceled/ “The NAS was considering using new ways of examining the health impacts of radioactivity from NRC licensed sites by implementing a more detailed, more thorough, publicly shared research protocol. Such a protocol could have opened up the NRC’s regulatory regime to exhaustive scrutiny, revealing just how inadequate it is for examining health impacts.” Federal agencies...

We’re sharing this call to action in solidarity with our friends at Sovereign Iñupiat for a Living Arctic and the People vs Fossil Fuels Coalition:   President Biden just approved ConocoPhillips’ Willow project, the massive oil drilling project in the Alaskan Arctic.

Tritium and more. Excellent overview of the entire decommissioning process.

https://www.wsws.org/en/articles/2023/02/24/mhus-f24.html “An effective decontamination strategy would be to simply keep the wastewater contained on site to allow the natural decay process to proceed. Retention for approximately 25 years would reduce the quantity of tritium by 75 percent, making release into the environment less problematic. After 60 years, 96.4 percent of the stored tritium would have...

Tritium is a radioactive isotope and emits beta rays that can disrupt cell functions if it is ingested or inhaled.  Why would any sensible person want to put something like this in the Hudson River? We have an Indian Point Decommissioning Trust Fund to pay for a safe clean up. Anything left over is profit...
