While we are glad this facility is shutting down it is disappointing that the community and workers have not been accounted for in a closure that was not unexpected. NEIS continually points out that nuclear power plants do not run forever and communities and workers need to have a plan for their eventual closure. NEIS has been talking and promoting “Just Transition” plans for communities and workers for many years now. We know when the facilities will shutdown so funds should be set aside to help transition to new jobs and economic realities.
Well it’s coming from somewhere. Maybe Russia should check again.

Russian authorities deny any leakage or fault with power plants in St Petersburg and Murmansk
A major victory for all who have fought and raised awareness about this now canceled nuclear waste dump!
