The NRC is 'failing to enforce its regulations,' anti-nuclear advocates said on a teleconference with the federal agency
Anti-nuclear advocates and concerned citizens participated in a teleconference Thursday with the Nuclear Regulatory Commission requesting the federal agency to revise regulations and take action against Oyster Creek Generating Station in the aftermath of Hurricane Sandy. “We’re here because we have serious concerns about the ongoing safety of the Oyster Creek nuclear power plant,” said attorney Richard Webster of Public Justice, who submitted a petition on behalf of Beyond Nuclear, the New Jersey Environmental Federation (NJEF) and Grandmothers, Mothers and More for Energy Safety (GRAMMES). “The NRC appears to be failing to enforce its regulations and that lack of enforcement is leading to a lack of adequate protection at the power plant…

Residents show concern that the skate park might be shut down as it has been chained closed
Adam Kochanowski sat on a bench across from the Gille Skate Park on Wednesday afternoon, reminiscing the years when he spent time there daily. Kochanowski, 14, was concerned over recent rumors that the skate park would be shut down. “I used to be here every day in Lacey,” he said.

The bikers didn’t cause problems, Kochanowski said, but according to skate park rules, bikes and scooters are prohibited and police occasionally monitor the area. “They’ve been saying they’re going to close it down for a while,” he said. “It always reopens.” Township Administrator Veronica Laureigh could not elaborate on the skate park before the township committee…
