SPENT NUCLEAR FUEL OUT OF POOLS AT INDIAN POINT

Welcome to The New Everything Croton, a collection of all things Croton--our history, our homes, our issues, our businesses, our schools, our houses of worship--in short, EVERYTHING CROTON.

CORTLANDT, NY — All the spent nuclear fuel at Indian Point has been transferred to dry cask storage, the New York State Department of Public Service and the Indian Point Closure Task Force announced Monday.

The risks posed by Indian Point’s long-standing practice of storing spent nuclear fuel in densely packed cooling pools had long been of concern to New York State, contributing to the state’s opposition to the relicensing of Indian Point more than 15 years ago, its successful effort to permanently close the facility in 2021, and its insistence that the federal Nuclear Regulatory Commission oppose Holtec’s waivers for its Post-Defueled Emergency Plan until all spent nuclear fuel was out of the densely packed pools, state officials said.........MORE AT Spent Nuclear Fuel Out Of Pools At Indian Point | Peekskill, NY Patch

A CLARIFYING MOMENT FOR THE WEST---MICHAEL ROSEN

“In the event of an air-raid siren during the ceremony,” we were told earlier this week, at the second funeral we’d attended in as many days for victims of Hamas’s brutal assault, “spread out, lie on the ground, and cover your heads.”

It was reasonable to expect the genocidal regime to shoot missiles at funeral attendees, given the barbarous attack its terrorists had inflicted on Israeli civilians just days earlier. In its savage invasion beginning on the morning of Oct. 7, Hamas murdered more than 1,000 innocents, injured more than 3,000, and abducted more than 100. Terrorists beheaded babies, burned children alive, raped young girls, and kidnapped grandmothers. READ MORE AT A clarifying moment for the West | Washington Examiner
