England's air, water, soil, trees, plants, animals and humans are safe CG) from the lethal contamination of a meltdown or terrorist attack No chorus of loyal Vermont Yankee employees, no stack of fine print will serve to convince me or my friends that our land and persons are safe.

The NRC Generic Environmental Impact Statement is inadequate, and should have been preceded by an independent safety assessment of all the plant's components. The statement should deal openly with the threat of attack instead of sweeping it under the rug.
