Taiwan watchdog agency says nuclear plant leak has not been stopped; operator downplays threat

TAIPEI, Taiwan – Taiwan’s government watchdog has said a small leak at one of the island’s three nuclear power plants has yet to be halted 3 1/2 years after it started.

The report comes as the island’s legislature is mired in a debate on whether to hold a referendum on operating a fourth nuclear plant, scheduled to open in 2016.

Officials at the Shihmen plant, north of Taipei, say the leak cited by the watchdog body is condensate from vapour generated by routine maintenance and posed no threat to the environment or to plant staff.

Nuclear power is a lightning rod issue in Taiwan, particularly after the 2011 Fukushima disaster in nearby Japan.

Summary:  Dr. Sternglass has had his books burned along with others on the dangers of mercury and how to fight polluters. Most destructive to the ozone layer are radioactive gases. Nuclear power plants are designed to leak radioactive gasses even when operating properly. Milk around nuclear power plants is diluted and shipped out of State and into big cities to obscure the effect nuclear power plants have on milk causing low birth weights and miscarriages. A few months after Chernobyl there was a sharp increase in the number of AIDS cases. Exposure to continuous low level radiation increases ones likelihood of developing Cancer and AIDS. Radiation exposure depletes the immune system. If the immune system is strengthened one can cope with or overcome these diseases.
