      Long Island Soundkeeper Terry Backer  will join environmental activist
Nancy Burton at a press conference on  March 19, 2007 at 9 AM in front of 
the
Hartford Superior Court (95  Washington Street) to call for converting the
Millstone Nuclear Power  Station to a fish-friendly cooling system.

      A court hearing is scheduled  for 9:30 AM on March 19, 2007 on 
Burton’s
application for a temporary  injunction to put Millstone in cold shutdown
during the impending annual fish  larvae migration. The microscopic larvae 
are
swept by the billions into the  Millstone cooling water intakes and 
destroyed.

      As Long Island Soundkeeper, Backer  has spearheaded federal litigation
to convert power plants to closed cooling  systems.

      “Once-through cooling - what  is used at Millstone - is equivalent 
to a
fish-killing machine and it needs to  stop,” said Backer.
