Grand Gulf ESP application - intervenors abound, environmental justice to be an issue

Entergy's plan to "bank" an early site permit for another nuclear plant at Grand Gulf is being opposed by anti-nuclear groups -- pretty much the same groups that successfully opposed Louisiana Energy Services plan to build a uranium enrichment plant in the area. The Electricity Daily reports that the groups intend to use the same environmental justice argument that carried the day in that case "against any possible Entergy nuclear generating plans." Nathalie Walker of Advocates for Environmental Human Rights of New Orleans told the Daily that the people will fight to the death to stop Entergy from dumping a dangerous nuclear facility in the Port Gibson African American community. Sierra Club Mississippi chapter contact voiced similar sentiment: Once again in Mississippi, low-income African-Americans are being placed at risk of harm so a greedy corporation can make big profits. Critical Mass, NIRS, and the state's Green Party are amongst the expected intervenors.
