This is fine.
I'm okay with the events currently unfolding.

Is the local news up there freaking out about this?
It isn't that big of a leak compared to Fukushima or even Three Mile Island, but the fact that they don't exactly know why the pump stopped and the drain overflowed which caused the leak in the first place is truly disturbing...
>>22053
Nobody's talking about it yet, but I don't think it's really sunk in that we're basically right next door to this shit yet.
Don't worry though, King Cuomo assured us everything will be okay, so just stop thinking about it forever.
>>22056
Yeah, Schumer's on the case too...

lel, doesn't that inspire confidence? He's sending in the feds.
I can imagine all his old jewish women constituents from Brighton Beach calling his office up telling him to do something about it.
holy shit and they dont even know how the fucking tritium leaked outside.. should we be worried?
>>22060
Yes
>Environmentalists have had numerous concerns about the effect of the Indian Point reactors on the surrounding environment. Indian Point removes water from the nearby Hudson River, which also sucks fish out of the river. Many are concerned by the number of fish which die due to this. According to one NRC report from 2010, as few as 38% of alewives survive the filters.[14] On September 14, 2015, a state hearing began in regards to the deaths of fish in the river, and possibly implementing a shutdown period from May to August. An Indian Point spokesman stated that such a period would be unnecessary, as Indian Point "is fully protective of life in the Hudson River and $75 million has been spent over the last 30 years on scientific studies demonstrating that the plant has no harmful impact to adult fish." The hearings are set to last three weeks.[15] Concerns were also raised over the planned building of new cooling towers, which would cut down forest land which is suspected to be used as breeding ground by muskrat and mink. At the time of the report, no minks or muskrats were spotted there.[14]

It took a year for the news to get out about lead in the water in Flint, you really think the bought media is going to alarm NYC with a radiation leak?
Concerned nyc resident here, this is going to be swept under the rug isn't it
>>22187
I'd worry more if you live in Westchester county, but yeah, the plant is only getting older.
>>22057
Oh thank god, Schumer is on patrol to save New Yorkers from this tiny little spill that totally won't effect anything, so just don't worry about it goys.
Fuck this state.
Trump please save us
>>22193
