New Cracks Discovered at Toledo Nuclear Power Plant (ContributorNetwork)

ContributorNetwork - U.S. Representative Dennis Kucinich feels the cracks at the nuclear power plant near Toledo were more widespread than the public was lead to believe, according to the Associated Press. The Lake Erie area plant was closed for maintenance in October after employees discovered a hairline crack stretching 30 feet in length. In November additional cracks located near the top of the shield structure were also found. U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission spokeswoman Viktoria Mitlyng stated the NRC reviewed the later cracks before permitting the plant to reopen this week, according to the Associated Press.
