Fracking gas pipeline to be built 200 feet from Indian Point nuclear reactor

[latebloomer]

I am absolutely shocked that there has been no press coverage of this, and ye it appears to be a done deal. A fracking gas pipeline- aren't these constantly exploding?- is to be built within 200 feet of the decaying Indian Point nuclear reactor, 30 miles north of NYC.

1. Sounds like a

depopulation event looking for a time and place to happen.

2. 42" diameter pipe of natural gas at 850psi ...

... running "within 115 feet of hundreds of thousands of gallons of fuel oil
needed to operate the plant and cool down the reactor cores in an emergency,
and will come within about the same distance of the plant's switchyard,
where all power output proceeds from Indian Point and all power enters
for emergency supply. "

And some corrupt bastard signed this off.

3. I am glad a couple of people seem concerned

I posted this in GD and got a couple of people making mocking comments. No one else said a word.
