Commission asked to review new nuclear whistleblower program - Times Union
Commission asked to review new nuclear whistleblower program - Times Union: KNOXVILLE, Tenn. (AP) - An attorney is asking the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission to review the Tennessee Valley Authority's new whistleblowing program before it's implemented.
The Knoxville News Sentinel reports attorney Billie Garde filed a letter Tuesday saying TVA fired some of its nuclear employee whistleblowing program managers. Garde represents the managers. She says the move is designed to stop safety complaints and silence workers.
TVA's Chief Nuclear Officer Tim Rausch says the whistleblower program is being improved after worker complaints and other criticism. He says the managers weren't fired but don't qualify for the new positions within the overhauled program. Rausch says they are being offered other positions within the utility.
TVA has three nuclear plants: Browns Ferry in Athens, Alabama; Sequoyah in Soddy-Daisy; and Watts Bar in Spring City.

Daniel Ellsberg Reveals He was a Nuclear War Planner, Warns of Nuclear Winter & Global Starvation | Democracy Now!
Daniel Ellsberg Reveals He was a Nuclear War Planner, Warns of Nuclear Winter & Global Starvation | Democracy Now!: Could tension between President Trump and North Korean leader Kim Jong-un bring us to the brink of nuclear war? As tensions ramp up, we discuss what nuclear war would look like with a former nuclear war planner and one of the world’s most famous whistleblowers—Daniel Ellsberg. In 1971, Ellsberg was a high-level defense analyst when he leaked a top-secret report on U.S. involvement in Vietnam to The New York Times and other publications, which came to be known as the Pentagon Papers. He played a key role in ending the Vietnam War. Few know Ellsberg was also a Pentagon and White House consultant who drafted plans for nuclear war. His new book, published Tuesday, is titled “The Doomsday Machine: Confessions of a Nuclear War Planner.” We speak with Ellsberg about his top-secret nuclear studies, his front row seat to the Cuban missile crisis, whether Trump could start a nuclear war and how contemporary whistleblowers Chelsea Manning and Ed Snowden are his heroes.

Senate planning bipartisan effort to block Trump's emergency arms deals benefiting Saudi Arabia - GreenwichTime
Senate planning bipartisan effort to block Trump's emergency arms deals benefiting Saudi Arabia - GreenwichTime: WASHINGTON - The Senate Foreign Relations Committee's top Democrat and a close congressional ally of President Donald Trump are teaming up to try to block 22 arms deals largely benefiting Saudi Arabia, a move that seeks to quash the administration's attempt to use emergency powers to circumvent congressional objections.
Sen. Robert Menendez, D-N.J., said in an interview Tuesday that he would introduce "22 resolutions of disapproval" - one for each deal the Trump administration informed lawmakers last month it would push through, raising objections from both Democrats and Republicans.
Joining him in the effort is Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., who said Tuesday that he is "on board with Menendez." Graham, who is one of Trump's closest allies in Congress, has also been one of the most vocal critics of his embrace of Saudi leaders, particularly in the wake of last year's brutal murder of Saudi journalist Jamal Khashoggi.
Menendez and Graham's plans, in which they expect to enlist more bipartisan support, come as new details emerge regarding seven secret nuclear technology transfers the Trump administration approved for Saudi Arabia - two of them following Khashoggi's death.

Michele:
By FAR the most successful strategy to win a local fight against industrial wind energy, is to expose the wind project’s true Net local economic impact.
The five step outline for a plan-of-action is on our Winning webpage.The scientific studies to back this up are on the Key Documents webpage.
I’m writing you today to alert you to a major new development, to help such communities:
Some NYS citizens have just produced the best local economic analysis I’ve ever seen!I’ve converted it to a generic report (about a fictitious wind energy project), to provide you a template for your own local economic analysis.(Download the Word version, so that you can edit it for your own community’s situation. Make sure to read the important notes at the end of the report.)
If you have any suggestions for improving this superior report, please let me know and I’ll update it.
Otherwise let me know any questions.
regards,
john droz, jr.
physicist
PS — Please pass this onto other citizens who are trying to defend their rights against a wind energy threat.
