Directions:
|
| Imagine
that you are a concerned resident of Brunswick or New Hanover County
(perhaps a stretch). You have recently been made aware of the fact
that the Brunswick Nuclear Plant has proposed constructing a dry cask
storage site to store spent fuel on site. Naturally this raises
questions about nuclear energy, nuclear waste disposal, and the lack of an
operational long-term storage facility for high level nuclear waste such
as the one proposed for Yucca Mountain. Write an editorial to a
local paper arguing for or against this proposal. |
