Centralized location makes these old nuclear reactors, from the 1970s, a major hazard for much of North America, as is known from Chernobyl. The official outer – food growing exclusion – zone of 50 miles reaches to the edge of the wealthy Little Rock suburb of Maumelle – per capita and per household one of the wealthiest in America, and includes the suburb of Conway, as well as WinRock farms, and Hot Springs Village.

If Entergy’s Arkansas Nuclear One is under high level scrutiny by the nuclear lackey US NRC, vassal to the nuclear industry, then it must be in terrible shape indeed! It is very old. Unfortunately, Arkansas Nuclear One has two nuclear reactors.

This nuclear reactor is probably what killed Win Rockefeller, though it cannot be “proved”. He died of Myeloproliferative neoplasm. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Winthrop_Paul_Rockefeller Unlike many contemporary wealthy Republicans, he was reportedly a good and generous man – giving with an open hand. WinRock is doing a lot of renewable energy now. Sadly they have received funding from the owner-operator of Arkansas Nuclear – Entergy, as well as GE (Hitachi). https://www.winrock.org/sites/default/files/2013_Global_Projects_and_Financial_report%20low%20res.pdf

NB: Maumelle was developed as a “New City” (town). However, Conway is a city (town) unto itself, with a university. Nonetheless, it has functionally become a suburb of Little Rock, in recent times.
