If Incident Occurs At Indian Point, Are your Children REALLY Safe Sheltered At Or By The School?

We all know the drill...in case of a nuclear incident, don't try to get to your school children, FEMA and the school board will protect them during the fallout. Will they? Just how safe are your children during a significant nuclear incident/terrorist attack at Indian Point, and will they have been moved far enough out of harms way before it is too late?

TMI Alert wants kids' centers moved away

Some school buildings that would serve as pickup centers for children evacuated in a nuclear emergency are not far enough from the danger zone, a watchdog group has charged.

Three Mile Island Alert has asked the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission to adopt rules that would require evacuation centers for children to be at least 15 to 20 miles from the nuclear plant.

The NRC requires that evacuation centers be at least five miles outside the evacuation area -- usually defined as 10 miles from a plant. There is no such requirement for school evacuations, the petition said.

Important MEETING for FAMILIES WITH CHILDREN Threatened BY INDIAN POINT

Please Join Us!
Meeting of Newly Formed Council on Public Health and Toxic Emissions Will be Held at noon on Friday, January 12, 2007 at the Blythdale Children’s Hospital.

We will be meeting in a ground floor conference room reserved by Dr. Kathy Silverman. (Just ask at the desk when you walk in.)

The Council was formed for the purpose of getting a Children’s Environmental Protection Act passed in the state of New York. This meeting will broadly focus on how to get groups and individuals interested in public health to join forces to increase public awareness and effectuate legislation that is protective of the most vulnerable among us –e.g., babies and children -which, ipso facto, will also offer more protection to women, the ill and the infirm.

Astonishingly, as things now stand, most federal and state sandards (and all federal nuclear power emission standards) are aimed at protecting only adult males, which represent the least vulnerable.

Directions are pasted below. All are welcome.

Please call me if you have any questions!
