Rally at Cortlandt Town Hall DOB Meeting! Holtec suing NYS over tritiated water.

Join us on April 25, 4:45, Rally at Cortlandt Town Hall, 1 Heady Street, Cortlandt Manor.  Keep up the public pressure!! 

 

Last year, we stopped radioactive waste from being dumped into the Hudson River. But just today, Holtec International, the company in charge of decommisioning the Indian Point nuclear plant, announced it’s suing the State of New York instead exploring options to safely contain this waste on-site.

Rally with us outside of Cortlandt Town Hall next Thursday, April 25, to call out Holtec on its lawsuit and make sure we truly keep this radioactive waste on-site and out of our air and water!

It’s clear that Holtec is acting in bad faith, putting their own profits before the people of New York. The entire Hudson Valley region relies on the River as a major economic resource for tourism and recreation — dumping toxic waste into those waters or elsewhere just isn’t right.

What: Rally for On-Site Storage of Radioactive Wastewater at Indian Point
When: Thursday, April 25, at 4:45 p.m.
Where: Outside Cortlandt Town Hall, 1 Heady Street, Cortlandt Manor, NY 10567

RSVP Here

After the rally, there will be a oversight board meeting featuring nuclear engineer and decommissioning expert Arnie Gundersen. Join us inside for the meeting to learn one way we can achieve safe on-site storage of this wastewater and show agency representatives that we’ll hold our leaders accountable for a safe decommissioning of Indian Point.

Nuclear energy has a waste problem, and Indian Point has over a million gallons of radioactive wastewater currently held at the facility. Burning that waste, evaporating it, or simply transporting it elsewhere to be dumped are all dangerous options and they should be off the table. The only viable option at the moment is to safely contain the nuclear waste on-site while it decays and becomes less radioactive.

Holtec can sue New York, but they can’t win just because they don’t like being told what to do. We need to come out strong on Thursday to let Holtec and state leaders know we won’t stand for this radioactive waste in our Hudson River or anywhere that threatens the economic and environmental well-being of us all!
