Nine Mile Point Nuclear Power Plant and the asbestos risk

Nine Mile Point powerhouse was erected in New York and became operational in 1969. Itis the oldest nuclear plant in America and is still in use to this day.

Many decades ago, before the public was aware that exposure to asbestos could cause cancer, it was used in many industries due to its fire-retardant capabilities.

Industries that valued asbestos included nuclear power plants. Nine Mile Point, therefore, used asbestos extensively for the insulation of pipes, pumps, and other items which had to resist high temperatures.

As a result, workers at Nine Mile Point are at greater risk of developing mesothelioma, a fatal asbestos-related cancer.

Workers were unaware of the dangers associated with breathing in the dust and weren't provided with protective equipment or clothing to shield them from the deadly asbestos fibers.
