Nuclear energy -- along with nuclear waste may be coming to Wise County in Southwest Virginia.
Volunteer with SW Virginia Nuclear Watch Coalition Rees Shearer presents objections to the idea.
Plans are underway for a Small Modular Nuclear Reactor on a 65,000 acre site in Wise County. Utility companies Dominion Power and American Electric Power/Appalachian Power want to build the reactors in conjunction with large data center -- and are asking the Virginia Legislature to allow them to start charging existing customers now for the cost of investing and building the sites.
In this conversation, Rees reminds listeners about the dangers of nuclear waste and points out that there is not one operating SMNR on land in the country.
