Nuclear Regulatory Commission Takes 32 Years to Answer Petition

MONTPELIER, Vt. - The nuclear energy watchdog group New England Coalition has been waiting a long time, a very long time, for the federal Nuclear Regulatory Commission to pay attention to its concerns.

The agency has just replied to a petition concerning safety and radiation exposure that the coalition filed in 1975.

"No petition before its time," said NRC spokesman Eliot Brenner.

As if being ignored for three decades weren't enough, the NRC denied the group's petition.
