The FREEZE
PILGRIM Committee was formed out of concern
about the relicensing process for the aged Pilgrim nuclear
reactor in Plymouth, MA, especially in the wake of the
nuclear disaster at the reactors of the same GE Mark I
design in Fukushima, Japan.
The Committee is a duly organized municipal campaign committee pursuant to Massachusetts General Law, filed with the Town of Plymouth, Massachusetts and calling for the suspension of the re-licensing application of the Pilgrim Nuclear Reactor pending implementation of the safety improvements recommended by the NRC as a result of lessons learned from the failure of similarly-designed reactors last year in Japan. By means of ballot initiatives and public forums, we strive to galvanize the communities surrounding Pilgrim to take both political and legal action to demand nuclear safety.
WHAT NEEDS TO BE FIXED? Recommendations by The Nuclear Regulatory Commission, NRC Staff, and Stakeholders
The campaign is also an effort to support the Attorney General of Massachusetts and citizens groups in their legal appeals in Federal Court in response to the denial by the NRC of their contentions that the lessons learned from Fukushima, and other fixes, should be addressed before relicensing Piglirm for 20 more years.
RELICENSING PILGRIM NOW --
-- WOULD BE RISKING OUR FUTURE!
We learned from Fukushima that it doesn’t require an earthquake and tsunami to melt down and explode an outdated GE Mark-I nuclear reactor like Pilgrim. Anything, -- a fire, hurricane, or terrorist attack, --that results in an extended power outage can set it in motion!
FREEZE PILGRIM! Support the appeals filed by Pilgrim Watch, Jones River Watershed Association, and Attorney General Martha Coakley to reverse Pilgrim’s relicensing until all fixes have been addressed, including all spent fuel placed in safe dry cask storage.
