印地安角(Indian Point)核電廠距離時代廣場,僅有短短的35英里,而鄰近這座老舊核電廠的紐約州,卻住著將近 2,000 萬的大量人口。在美國核能管理委員會(NRC)的支持下,事故頻傳的印地安角核電廠得以繼續運轉,卻在周遭社區引起了廣大爭議。
當地反核組織持續關注日本311核災,認為發生在福島的事故,其實很可能隨時會在此重演。在竭力發展清潔能源的奮戰下,與因政府的自滿而可能導致的災難之間,導演試圖以盡可能平衡的角度,針對核電充滿不確定性的未來發展,提出了令人吃驚的銳利檢視。
Indian Point Nuclear Power Plant looms just 35 miles from Times Square. With over 50 million people living in close proximity to the aging facility, its continued operation has the support of the plant’s operators and the NRC — Nuclear Regulatory Commission — yet has stoked a great deal of controversy in the surrounding community, including a vocal anti-nuclear contingent concerned that what happened at Japan’s Fukushima nuclear plant could happen here. In the brewing fight for clean energy and the catastrophic possibilities of government complacency, director Ivy Meeropol presents a balanced argument about the issues surrounding nuclear energy and offers a startling reality check for our uncertain nuclear future.
