CASALE - Harsh words as those used by the President of the Aqueduct of Monferrato, Aldo Quilico to denounce the danger faced by wells supply places in the town of Saluda downstream of the plant Sogin where is the largest repository of nuclear waste 'Italy: over 86% of the total. What is yet to discuss the only national site? There is already, in fact, and is in the worst place you could imagine.
Not only because it threatens the source from which to draw for now 105 municipalities Monferrato and Asti, but soon, with the connection the Aqueduct of Asti, over 300 thousand citizens, but also because it is in a floodplain area upstream of the entire Po Valley. What happens if payment is in radioactive sewage, surface and underground sources?
"A Saluggia - said Gian Piero Godio , Head of Energy Legambiente Piedmont - there are also 5 kg . of plutonium, equivalent to 50 million lethal doses . "

We refer to the meeting organized by the Democrats last Thursday for Casale attended many mayors and citizens interested and concerned.
"We draw water Giarrea the House since 1930. The Eurex and Sogin arrived 40 years later and were placed just around the corner from us - says bitterly Quilico - since 1980 is that we have expressed our concerns and we talked about the absolute security of the system and we we believed, because the Sogin and State, and we should not believe the State? In 2004 we returned to again express our concerns and reassured us, lying, because they knew that two years of losses and have polluted the groundwater surface. There were no controls or monitoring. After the discovery of the danger we had to act to provide us with the money of our fellow citizens to install monitoring tools and lock down the wells.
We arrived absurd that ARPA has asked us for help ensure a normal service. The State has never answered only in an evasive way. The government gave 25 million euro for municipalities in the area because close eyes and does nothing to protect a valuable asset such as drinking water! To think that tomorrow the source of our water supply could be compromised is a crime against humanity, it is worth more than any nuclear power plant ".

About nuclear power plants, which have now entered the agenda of the government, one of which could rise a few kilometers from Casale, how much energy they produced those Trino and Garigliano Caorso decades in their activities?
Replied Godio " 90 billion kw / h, in Italy we consume one billion per day, therefore, have provided the energy needed to our country for three months in all!
And waste produced 4 billion and a half billion 'becquerel' (a measure of radioactivity). If this waste were to, for any reason or accident, uniformly dispersed in the environment would make the planet uninhabitable .

a clear position against nuclear power has been expressed by the Councillor for Environment Casale Vito De Luca " How many accidents can occur over time ?".
Dr. According Guaschino requested clarification on third-generation nuclear.
Mayor John Coniolo Spinoglio urged to act together to " avert the danger of a catastrophe that could occur " and the municipal council of Fabio Casale Lavagno, also making reference to the ongoing controversy on the biomass power plant Frassineto Po, called for " plan the development of the Territory and plan the production and use of electricity .
Provincial Councillor Corrado Calvo said that those responsible have lied Sogin the official delegation from the Province of Alessandria and Vercelli. And finally Riccardo Coppo denounced the immorality of 'compensation', " this means buying the strict consensus instead of making choices. It is well known for years that there are criminal organizations that destroy the environment and no one addresses the problem at the political level. The question should be dealt with Saluggia rigor and transparency. "
