Public concerns over NRC discharge at Monroe plant
Critics argue NRC consultation has been lacking and urge more study and public input. Officials say the 532,000 gallon release from a storage tank remains well within NRC limits, with potential exposure far below typical medical levels. The release, first of three planned discharges totaling up to 15 million gallons, aims to store more contaminated water after a turbine failure on December 25.
