Council Says, "It Could Be The Next Fukishima."

The Conservation Council accusing NB Power of worshipping the almighty dollar when it comes to Point Lepreau.

Sharon Murphy of the Council tells Tide News Point Lepreau has many of the same risk factors as the plant at Fukishima and they can back that up with hard science.

She says it has already been studied and written down by the CNSC and NB Power, that Point Lepreau can not withstand a seismic event.

Murphy says the group has been met with a lack of respect from pro nuclear authorities -- but that won't stop the group from trying to keep the plant from reopening.





Beach Clean-Up For Passamaquaddy Bay Island

"Pendleton Island is a natural gem in the Passamaquoddy Bay."


The nature Conservancy of Canada helping keep it that way with a beach cleanup tomorrow (Saturday).

Volunteers will head over by boat and spend the day cleaning up debris that's washed up on the beach.

Shawna Wallace tells Tide News most people probably wouldn't have been to the Island before, as it's smaller than Deer Island.
Registration for that trip is full, but for more information on the NCC's next green day trip go to:
