Get a life

No nukes...... Tell that to the three thousand jobs that will be lost... Some people are crazy

People are scared of what they don't understand

It must be nice to be so rich that you can take off on the weekend, drive or fly to somebody else's state and, (weather permitting), take an embarrassing walk of stupidity while bonding with other uninformed or misinformed whack jobs.

So where will they walk? Rt. 9 shoulder, real accident waiting for a place to happen. These people really need to get their heads out of their a??. They could have been walking on a nice linear trail but they stopped that to. BTW where is Tittle? to far to walk.

Please have them walk over to the beach area that was destroyed by "Sandy" and help clean up the area would be more of a benefit.

Please be careful as you walk through Lacey township. Enjoy you day. By the way as you go through Lacey stop by our Bicentennial park and take a look at the names of veterans who gave you the freedom to protest . Please do not litter your plastic bottles of water as you walk . we do have full stream recycling here in our town Have a nice day .

go march when your taxes go up along with the price of electricity! and be proud to try and put thousands out of work. go play in traffic!!!!

and lets not forget when they have refuel outages how much money is spent in that area and the economy boost they get. people from all over the country come and spend money on hotels, gas, and local restaurants.

Why did you move here, when you knew the plant was here?? Taxes maybe? Get a life ! Open your home to our homeless, , donate to the food bank, give your old clothes to Salvation Army,remember our Native Americans !! now thats a few of good causes. Stop and view our beautiful village ,Forked River !!! have a safe and healthy walk !! BEACHBUM

100,000 years of storage waste problems for 50 years of power. If anything is stupid nuclear power is. Decommission that wreck now!

These freaks want us all living by candlelight and wood burning fireplaces. Get a life!

Stupid freaks that enjoy turning the key and the car starts,turn the knob on the stove and the flame comes on .how about giving up your electric and all your other resources you stupid tree hugging dopes.

it amazes me.... people are "frightened" by "nuke plants" that provide power so they can live a modern lifestyle (with electricity)....but they "hate and complain" about the way the power/energy is made because its "dangerous". the danger in and with nuclear energy is not the "heavily protected power plants" that provide said electricity, its the "foreign national" that are in this country carting around a suitcase size "nuke bomb" around town just waiting for the right time and place to set it off... focus on that point...
i am also willing to put $100 down on the table that 50% of the people making this walk/or who hate nuclear power generation are the same ones that complained they had no power for 10 day after a cat 1 hurricane and demanded refunds from their local electric supplier...

the cell phone you use, that big TV you watch and that bunch of bananas you just picked up from the local grocer has more "radiation" in them than any "nuke plant" emits on a hourly basis...
.
on a random note,if they succeed on getting the plant shut down......
what are all the local fishing guys gonna do when the oyster creek plant shuts down and the outlet water cools?? no more fishing off the east side of the rt9 plant outlet bridge where the water is warm and fish flock to because of that. maybe FEMA will be able to help them recover "lost fish" or something.. but than the same "anti nuke energy people" will complain because of the new tax that subsidize the local fisherman

Darn right it scares me. Not only because of the danger of pollution but how about a "accident"?!! We avoided a big one during Sandy, if they are being honest with the public. There is a lot more ways to get energy that is not a time bomb waiting to explode given the age of this dinosaur. Yes, I do agree that cell phones, etc are full of dangers also, but I, for one, eat organic whenever possible and use my cell phone only when necessary, blah blah blah....It should go and go sooner than later!

Does this mean i have to get rid of my microwave?Because that's going to suck

The walk should start at Oyster Creek and go due east for about 20 miles....

solar power and wind farms cannot replace or come close to what a nuke plant generates you stupid tree hugger.

Perhaps you folks have forgotten that Oyster Creek can't even keep the emergency sirens working! OC had to use backup generators to keep cooling the reactor during Sandy, because the intake structure was flooded with six and a half feet of water as a result of the storm surge, and the plant lost its electrical power from the grid. The 1938 New England hurricane triggered a storm surge as high as 25 to 30 feet, much higher than waves generated by Sandy. Oyster Creek is the oldest nuclear plant in the US and was built with the same design as Fukashima. During the Fukushima disaster, the United States urged its citizens to stay at least fifty miles from the plant. Do you live within 50 miles of this relic?
Over 4 million do:
2010 U.S. population within 50 miles = 4,482,261
Cities within 50 miles include
Toms River: 10 miles
Lakewood:19 miles
Atlantic City: 30 miles
Asbury Park: 30 miles
Cherry Hill: 42 miles

These environmentalists will walk to the power plant, then get on a fossil fueled powered pollution emitting "shuttle" to go back to their polluting fossil fueled vehicles to go home and watch themselves on a TV that is powered by that non-polluting power plant they want to shut down. HYPOCRITES!!!!

hey favorite teacher...

when did anyone tell people to stay 50 miles away from nuke plants during the fukashima accident? ??? lol I don't recall being told that...

hey suz... organic or not... bananas are still radioactive... this also includes salt.

if you really want to get on radioactive particles.... think about the alpha radioactive particles in a cigarette. smoke a pack a day for a year and you expose yourself to an extra 1300 miliRem on top of the 365 miliRem average you get from natural background.

Just can't wait until we develop aircraft with a windmill on top and solar panels on its wing's......By the way did anyone notice our lying sequesterd president took his 747 to chicago yesterday? How does that compare with me driving my 7,500 pound suv to the supermarket?

get a life you tree hugging liberals nuke is the cleanest power made other then wind and water you should not talk about what you don't know and also keeps the people employed what you want us to live on candles you morons

That plant has been there long before most people have been in this town and will remain long after your gone, shut it down and you will complain about your tax spike! Why not move 50 miles away now so you dont have to worry anymore? I think that plant did very well for a storm that devistated the jersey shore! Parkway north or south 50 miles in either direction is wide open for you to travel from here, no one is twisting your arms to stay ! Buckle up and have a nice day.....

One of the cleanest, cheapest, and safest power sources in the world. People are so stupid.

nj ghost the plant leaks like an old chevy and judging by your moronic comments you must live really close to the exhaust vents.a few months ago some drunk ran into a telephone pole on rt 9 and it shut the whole plant down. these people are exercising their right of free speech. its tiresome listening to rubes like i have spoke and himan as well as tr and barney gayboy cherry picking which part of the constitution they think we should have. those fuel rods wont only be here 100,00 yrs from now they,ll be here the next 50 yrs in the same town your dopey offspring will be growing up in and having even dumber kids.

the funniest and most moronic comment came from dead from the neck up dave sleeper who says " it must be nice to have the weekend off and drive to other states" . yeah davey because no one ever drives out of state on the weekend. sleeper when you see all those different license plates on the parkway from strange places like florida and new york does the confusion actually hurt your head?

hate to te you this tom... some moron smashing into a telephone pole wouldn't shut that place down... lol. how stupid are you.

dear jn- 3/16/2011 The United States on Wednesday urged Americans who live within 50 miles of Japan’s earthquake-damaged Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant to evacuate, and the top U.S. nuclear regulatory official indicated that Japan faces an increasingly dangerous situation at one of the plant’s reactors. Gregory Jaczko, chairman of the Nuclear Regulatory Commission, said Wednesday that no water remains in a deep pool used to cool spent fuel at the plant and that radiation levels there are thought to be “extremely high.”

Did you need to hear it from Fox News to believe it?http://www.foxbusiness.com/markets/2011/03/16/citizens-50-miles-japan-plant-leave/
"Without criticizing the Japanese government, which has shown signs of being overwhelmed by the crisis, U.S. officials admitted their call for American citizens to evacuate the area near the Fukushima nuclear plant went further than Japanese advice.
The State Department recommended that U.S. citizens within 50 miles of the Fukushima plant leave the area or stay indoors "if safe evacuation is not practical.""

david dower: hey david... check my facts? hmmmm. How long has this plant run without cooling towers? why should they spend the money because you people think they should. are you a plant engineer? there are several plants in the us that also DONT have cooling towers and are still pumping out electricity.
that plant and the professionals running it were ready for sandy. anything happen? nope!!!

see you on rt 9 with a few dozen eggs!

L*O*F*L. Where ya gonna get the juice for your plug in electric cars?
HMMM, Not Nukes, Not Coal. That leaves OIL, SOLAR (not) or WIND (NOT).

Most of these people commenting wanting to shut it down don't even live in ,one of these group leaders live in brick off the river..Everyone of these people use & waste electric no alternative fuels.. The bay in this one storm has been contaminated more than the Nuke plant every did. Are any one of these people adding in the recovery or just using electric complaining about the plant from the comfort of there own home .There vehicles leaking fluids A/c units leaking oil, boats leaking other items stored in sheds & homes leaking in the bay.. so what they are complaining about is warm bay water...So lets put cooling towers in so the salt evaporates & lands on everything and corrodes it .Killing plants & trees , just like the salt did to the vegetation on the barrier islands..

Jesus Christ Almighty! What insufferable fools on this board. You all need to join Kool Aid Drinkers Anonymous

jersey nuke and nj ghost who have clearly been drinking the water that comes out of oyster creek's vents yes if power gets knocked out going to the plant it shuts down and releases superheated water into the bay. i live a few blocks north of caffreys and i have never heard the sirens when they have had shutdowns in the past. yeah they dont have cooling towers because they bring barnegat bay up to hot tub temps cooling its reactor. a few months ago they discovered pinhole leaks in the reactor. now to the blunt skulls like nj ghost and jersey nuke " its just a little leak" if you had pingole leaks in your car radiator you would end up suck on the side of the parkway. if it was the baseboard heating in your house you would be buying a new floor and fighting mold but to these two chuckleheads its only a bit of radiation. no harm done.and nj ghost you only used a "small t" for my name? my lord how will i ever survive this lower case insult? lol

a year or so ago i went to the hearing in trenton about the cooling towers. exelon got every senior citizen they could find and put green exelon shirts on them and gave them nifty little exelon tote bags to carry the box lunches exelon gave them before they packed them on chartered buses to trenton. exelon testified " we are here all employees of oyster creek" . these "employees" were carrying oxygen in tanks using walkers and many of them fell asleep during the hearing no doubt from the whole day of travelling etc. if this is what the employees of oyster creek look like then i suggest everyone start stocking up on iodine pills. till then i look forward to seeing nj ghost and others in here fishing on rt 9 at the plant's exhaust vents . you know because the fish love that warm water.just ignore the glowing parts and you,ll be fine.

on now: WHYY Frontline: Inside Japan's Nuclear Meltdown
Witness an unprecedented account of the crisis inside Japan's Fukushima Dai-ichi nuclear complex after the earthquake and tsunami on March 11, 2011. WHYY-TV, 10 p.m 3/19/2013

According to NRC it was 6 inches away from the cooling pump motors: 10/29/2012 11:27 pm The intake water level was read as 4 inches above the base of the service water pumps. The ABN-32, revision 19 value for tripping the service water (SW) pumps was 6 inches below the pumps’ motors (33 inches above the SW pump base).
10/30/12
12:11 am Combustion Turbine #2 (station blackout power source) was aligned to B 4160 Bus.
12:18 am The intake reached its maximum level. (5 inches above the base of the service water pumps, 7.4 feet)
