Get serious about Indian Point issue

Get serious about Indian Point issue
How many times are we going to allow Entergy to "cry wolf"? It has repeatedly failed safety tests and the ability to alert the surrounding areas in case of an emergency. I think it's time for the Nuclear Regulatory Commission to get serious about what could be a real crisis. If you live in this area, you are well aware of the problem an emergency evacuation would be. This is not the place for a nuclear plant to exist.

Move Entergy officials close to the action
We seem to be constantly bombarded in your letters-to-the-editor section with zealous pros and cons about Indian Point that tend to contribute to the average person's nuclear fears. Does it represent a real danger to the surrounding population or not?
The configuration of the old mill towns of New England suggest an idea that could go a long way toward easing the minds of Hudson Valley residents. The mill owners and/or managers traditionally resided in big houses on high ground generally with vista-ed views of the red brick mill buildings in the river valley below usually no more than a mile away. Thereby lies the solution! Why not have Entergy relocate its top managers and their families into residences within the "safe" one-mile radius of Indian Point. That borrowed industrial configuration would then provide more comfort for me than any of the confusing information I read.
