Data show high levels of radioactivity at 11 of 18 Duke plants
Today is the deadline for coal-fired power plants to post the results of their groundwater monitoring under the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s 2015 rule regulating the storage and disposal of coal ash. EPA required such monitoring to determine the extent to which coal ash impoundments and landfills were contaminating groundwater. The results confirm the widespread groundwater contamination caused by coal ash around the country. In particular, Duke Energy’s results reveal startlingly high levels of radioactivity at 11 out of 18 plants.
Contrary to industry practices, Duke Energy did not summarize its groundwater monitoring results in a table, instead burying results in more than 20,000 pages of lab results. Earthjustice Senior Attorney Lisa Evans took a closer look at the data, and found what Duke Energy might have been trying to hide: high levels of radioactivity at a majority of its plants.
“The way Duke Energy presented its data showed a clear intent to obscure the findings,” said Lisa Evans. “Despite […]
The only solutions for these poor people living too near Duke’s plants is to take great amounts of various algae (Red, Blue-green, etc.) which is what saved those who lived near the Russian disaster, as well as Golden Seal, an herb which removes toxins from the body. They should also move away as soon as possible, if possible.
