FIRST ARREST EXPECTED
CONSTELLATION ENERGY IS RENAMED CONSTIPATION ENERGY
BECAUSE OF ALL THE NUCLEAR WASTE ON THE ISLAND
In referring to the demonstration planned for Monday, August 12th at 11 a.m., Gene Stilp said, “Like a vampire that will not die, the Three Mile Island nuclear plant is being prepared to once again rise from the grave and terrify the citizens of Pennsylvania. It is time to drive a final stake through this vampire before it has time to exist again.”
Stilp continued,”All of the high level nuclear waste generated from Unit One is still there in filled “Used Fuel Pools” and subject to attack. Constellation Energy has so much nuclear waste there that we have renamed them CONSTIPATION ENERGY.”
Three Mile Island has two units. Three Mile Island Unit Two brought on line in 1978, had the worst nuclear accident in American history forty-five years ago in 1979 and is dead for all time although the final cleanup is still not done.
Three Mile Island Unit One which was brought on line in 1974, was closed in 2019 because it could not sell its power profitably. It was off-line for six years from 1979 until1985 because Pennsylvania Citizens fought to keep Unit One shut. The Nuclear Regulatory Commission and Pennsylvania State regulators did not listen to Central Pennsylvania citizens even though the surrounding counties voted overwhelmingly to keep it shut.
Now after five years of being closed, the enablers, Constellation Energy, Pennsylvania politicians and the whole nuclear industry, want to reopen the beast in order to serve the needs of the “artificial intelligence” power demand not the citizens. Another prime example of technological tyranny.
Apparently everything has been progressing in the dark, but after many months events are coming into the scrutiny of the light of day. And the vampire enablers do not like that. Constellation Energy has been reviewing the hardware at Unit One and assessing the viability of a plan to reopen it. The Pennsylvania governor and legislators are trying to provide money to make it happen. Federal funding is abundantly available as the effort progresses.
The Nuclear Regulatory Commission and Pennsylvania State regulators will do everything in their power to make the reopening possible.
Gene Stilp said, ”The only thing that stands in the way are the dedicated citizens of Central Pennsylvania. The anti-nuclear group Three Mile Island Alert has always been in the forefront. The Middletown Mothers have held steadfast for decades. No Nukes Pennsylvania is being revived. This first citizen demonstration has been scheduled for Monday,August 12 at 11 a.m at North Gate of Three Mile Island, the traditional location. The battle is on. This TMI vampire will not live again.”
