Protesters to follow Yankee Rowe reactor ship south
About a dozen protesters in a red white and blue bus plan to trail the irradiated reactor vessel from Yankee Rowe nuclear plant as it heads to a dump at Barnwell starting Monday. Plant managers closed Yankee Rowe in 1991 for safety and economic reasons. The protest group says the material should stay on site for decades to let radiation subside. Police may have seen security guards at the Notorious B L A murder but none have come forward.
