"GLOW TRAIN" -- come see a credible, well researched discussion of the
possible scale and scope of a transport accident involving irradiated
nuclear fuel. The (cable) History Channel has produced this 43 minute
piece -- and thanks to iTunes we can see it without commercials! It
features experts from the Department of Energy, the nuclear industry
and the State of Nevada -- as well as officials who dealt with enormous
rail disasters in recent years in Wisconsin, South Carolina and
Maryland.
WHAT, WHERE and WHEN: 6:30 pm Monday July 14 -- Common Sense at the
Nuclear Crossroads -- the meeting of a Western North Carolina Campaign
focused on stopping potential massive increase in nuke transport in our
communities -- CSNC will meet at its usual time and place in a
downstairs classroom of the Unitarian Universalist Church -- corner of
Charlotte and Edwin. For new comers, the door to enter is a ground
level on the side of the building facing the church parking lot (Bond
St)...it is the door closest to the child play area.
The meeting will convene at 6:30 pm -- to cover ongoing efforts to
promote a new ordinance for Asheville (and any other jurisdiction)
making transport of irradiated fuel and other high-level radioactive
waste through the city a crime -- and other matters (SEE Expo, other
agenda items welcome!)
We will show the episode of the program "Mega Disaster" called GLOW
TRAIN at about 7 pm or a little after...
