Chuck Schumer calls to close Williamsburg 'Dirty bomb' plant
A radioactive-waste storage facility in Williamsburg,
Brooklyn, should be shut down because it is a "dirty bomb that has yet
to be detonated," Sen. Charles Schumer (D-N.Y.) said yesterday.
Joined by a group of community and religious leaders, he called on the
state Department of Environmental Conservation to deny a new permit to
the Radiac Research Corp. facility. The department is holding a hearing
today on the facility, which stores radioactive wastes and hazardous
chemicals near homes and a block from PS 84, which has 1,100 students.
