I tism, all $4.6 billion worth, sits idle, its fate uncertain.

HE NRC IS SCRAMBLING TO RECOUP. It has ten.
Ttatively adopted a new rule allowing it to waive thelocal-coo the door for Shoreham, plus a reactor in New Harnpshire.
..The rule change, if it is given final approval this spring, would serve the economic interests of just about every.
i body, since it would save Shoreham from being the biggest i
white elephant of all time. But it would be wrong in terms i
of public trust in safety.
i No situation short of war would panic the populace like a nuclear accident. even a tiny one. Thr ee Mile Isla.:d proved that If nukes are to operate, a workable evacuation plan must be ready, with trained personnel on the scene to carry it out. Even then, the potential for mass disarray exists.
Licensing Shoreham without a valid plan is, therefore, unthinkable. And pay no attention to the folks who argue that the NRC's issuing such a license would force Suf7olk and state oiTicials into coooerating on an evacuation plan.--
That's an irresponsible game of chicken, with people's deepest fears-perhaps even their. lives-as the stakes.
All this leav as Shoreham and similarly perplexed reac.
ton in limbo-an unhappy, e.tpensive fate. But the NRC was right the llrst time when it laid down its locally based.~,
evecu'ation plan nild, Reve.k!ng it would be an blunder /.
