"The idea that the Limerick nuclear generating plant is “routinely discharging” nuclear waste into the Schuylkill River and that this is permitted by the NRC, and that by extension this is being done by all the nuclear generating plants across the nation, will no doubt come as a big surprise to most Americans, including those who live downstream and downwind of these plants (because it turns out that there are also permitted regular releases of radioactive gas by these other facilities). But that’s the truth." ( excerpt from "Relax, It's Just a Run-of-the-Mill Nuke Spill, DAVE LINDORFF http://rceezwhatsup.blogspot.com/2012/04/relax-its-just-run-of-mill-nuke-spill.html )
