CNY NukesCentral New York has four nuclear reactors on Lake Ontario: three in Oswego County north of Syracuse; and one in Wayne County, just east of Rochester. We are one of the most nuclear-dependent regions of the country. 1 Nine Mile Point 1 is bottom left, next to Nine Mile Point 2. The cooling tower is part of Nine Mile 2. FitzPatrick is at the top. 2 The scene of the crime. Carl Patrickson was fired for reporting nuclear safety problems here. 3 This is our version of a postcard Niagara Mohawk used to distribute at the "Visitors Center" at Nine Mile. The three thin chimneys are the emissions stacks where the reactors vent radioactive gases from the cooling system. Radioactive waste is released in smaller amounts from the cooling systems and the reactor building vents. For decades, NiMo would indoctrinate schoolchildren with its propaganda at the "Visitors Center." Constellation had to close the propaganda station after 9-11. Prior to the terrorist attacks, the reactor site was open to the public to drive through on Route 104A. |
