JAMES MADISON QUOTE - 1822

"A popular government without popular information, or the means of acquiring it, is but a Prologue to a Farce or a Tragedy; or, perhaps both. Knowledge will forever govern ignorance; and a people who mean to be their own governors must arm themselves with the power knowledge gives."

Shh, TVA nuclear power plant secrets - The Browns Ferry Nuclear Reactors

 The Browns Ferry Nuclear Plant, 12 air miles southwest of Athens, Al. and 30 air miles west of Huntsville, Al.

The General Electric Mark 1 series of reactors like the ones at Browns Ferry and 20 other sites across our nation.  http://www.newsmax.com/Newsfront/GE-reactors-Japan-UnitedStates/2011/03/14/id/389407  The most serious problem, as Mr. Gunderson explains in the video below, is the Nuclear Regulatory Commission's (NRC) failure to regulate and provide safety measures for the protection of citizens. The NRC is more concerned with protecting the financial interests of the nuclear industry rather than citizens. This type of nuclear reactor is a catastrophe waiting to happen!

The Browns Ferry nuclear reactors are flawed. Nuclear Engineer Arnie Gunderson of Fairewinds Associates ( http://fairewinds.com/ ) tells why these reactors are disasters waiting to happen.

Long time no see at NAN. We treat you better than your al.com "buddies" :-)

Have you looked at GE's stock price lately?
