Add in the mix thermal pollution and routine releases of radionuclides….

The water is returned to the lake slightly warmer than when it was taken. The discharged water cools in a series of private cooling lagoons, known as the Waste Heat Treatment Facility (WHTF). When North Anna is in full operation, approximately 2,000,000 gallons of water pass through the station per minute.

And if there is an accident, like the ongoing Fuskushima disaster….plus.there is about 300 tons of radioactive water entering the Pacific for the past 3 1/2 years….sigh.
We MUST invest in renewable energy NOW!
