njgreentalkeyahoogroups.com, njan-announceeyahoogroups.com, Know Nukes@yahoogroups.com Attahed as Word and text files is a newly updated press release on our 3/28 protest at the Salem Nukes.
The PSEG whistleblower has confirmed that he will indeed appear on 3/28 and be the main speaker at our rally.
Please come out on 3/28 and listen to and support the person who had the courage to demand that PSEG run their nukes safely, instead of for maximum short term profits.
Help us send the message to the NRC and PSEG - NO TMI ON THE DELAWARE -
UNPLUG SALEM NOW!
See you all on 3/28.

In addition to the whistleblower, there will be a large number of other expert speakers, including: Dave Lochbaum, nuclear safety engineer for the Union of Concerned Scientists; Joe Mangano, chlief researcher for the Radiation and Public Health Project; Jim Riccio of Greenpeace; Paul Gunter of the Nuclear Information and Resource Service; Tony Totah, marine biologist for Clean Ocean Action; Jane Nogaki, Pesticide Coordinator for the NJI Environmental Federation; Dr. Judith Johnsrud of Three Mile Island Alert; and Ray Shadis of the New England Coalition.
Also speaking will be Frieda Berryhill, who has opposed nuclear power from before the Salem Nukes were built; Norm Cohen of the UNPLUG Salem Campaign; Grace Costanzo of the Jersey Shore Nuclear Watch; and Roy Cannon and Matt Ahearn of the Delaware and New Jersey Greens.
Entertainment will be provided by the Eco-Chorale, and the protest will be powered by solar power provided by LBI Solar.
The NRC's annual assessment letters, dated March 3rd 2004, continue to point out the NRC's concerns with the poor safety culture at both of the Salem Nukes and the Hope Creek Nuke: "Cross-cutting issues involved instances of ineffective, untimely problem solving and corrective actions (and) numerous inspection findings which indicate that weaknesses continue."
Commented Norm Cohen, UNPLUG Salem Campaign Coordinator, "For the last three years we've been saying that the safety environment at PSEG's nuclear plants is dangerous. Now we have concrete proof. Close those dangerous nuclear plants down nowl" Please join us on March 28th to make sure that Salem and Hope Creek do not
