Familiarity and compliance were on opposing sides of the debate Monday over how many haulers Warren County should permit to pick up residential and commercial garbage outside Vicksburg. “We’ve had a lot of undue heartache trying to seek compliance,” District 5 Supervisor Richard George said during a 45-minute “state your case” session between county board members and representatives of five corporate and family-run garbage haulers who do business in the county. In April, the board decided its decades-old system of allowing county residents to contract with the service of their choice shoul...

AP IMPACT: Evacs and drills pared near nuke plants

FILE - In a Wednesday, Oct. 19, 2011 file photo, Walter Lee, right, manager of Nuclear Emergency Preparedness leads the evaluation as the Tennessee Valley Authority conducts an emergency preparedness drill in the Central Emergency Control Center in Chattanooga, Tenn. The drill involved a simulated explosion releasing a small amount of radiation at TVA's Watt's Bar Unit 1 power plant near Spring City, Tenn., between Chattanooga and Knoxville. In changes which went into effect on December 2011, the U.S. government is allowing communities within 50 miles of nuclear power plants to practice less often for major accidents and is recommending that far fewer people who live nearby be evacuated immediately. Under new emergency planning rules, federal regulators also are ending a requirement that emergency personnel always practice for a release of radiation. (AP Photo/Chattanooga Times Free Press, Dan Henry)Without fanfare, the nation's nuclear power regulators have overhauled community emergency planning for the first time in more than three decades, requiring fewer exercises for major accidents and recommending that fewer people be evacuated right away.
