Why is Nuclear Power eyed with suspicion by environmentalists and most other folks? Well there was that nasty Three Mile Island thing, and then there is the potential for terrorists to do a lot of damage with a little effort at nuclear plants. How you ask?
Well at the Indian Point Nuclear Power Plant in White Plains, NY inspectors found a lone guard on the second of three security rings, asleep at his post. Seems guards work 12 hour shifts and this particular one had done three shifts that weekend. Sounds like a problem to me, but I am not the expert.
Experts and activists however, have complained about problems at the plant for years, and since 9/11 the plant has been the site of siren failures and radioactive water leaks.
