Even the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) has finally noticed that Entergy’s Indian Point nuke, already famous for falsified records, catching fire and leaking oil into the Hudson River, plus being on a fault line, not has Spectra’s Algonquin Incremental Market (AIM) fracked methane pipeline aimed at it.

Background:
Spectra Energy has received approval by the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission to build a new 42 inch diameter high pressure gas pipeline in close proximity to vital structures at the Indian Point nuclear power plant, as part of the Algonquin Incremental Market Project. Mr. Blanch, a nuclear expert, and Mr. Kuprewicz, a pipeline safety expert, will reveal that the risk assessment used as the basis for approval of the AIM project must be negated because the Nuclear Regulatory Commission knowingly used erroneous information, not based on sound science, to improperly evaluate the plant’s ability to achieve failsafe shutdown in the event of a pipeline rupture.
