TOWN OF HARWICH 732 Main Street Anita N. Doucette, CMC/AAE/CMMC Harwich, Massachusetts 02645 Town Clerk TeL 508-430-7516 FAX508-432-5039 June 5, 2003 Nuclear Regulatory Commission Attn: Commissioners Office 11555 Rockville Pike Rockville, MD 20852 To Whom It May Concern:
Please be advised that the following Public Advisory Question Was affirmatively voted upon at the Harwich Annual Town Election:
NON-BINDING PUBLIC ADVISORY BALLOT OUESTION "Shall the Town of Harwich vote to adopt the following resolution?"
Whereas Cape Cod is situated down wind from the Pilgrim Nuclear Power Station over 50% of the time and its citizens are in danger from any major release of radiation, accidental or deliberate, but are not included in the present safety plans afforded people in the 10-mile radius of the reactor.
Whereas there is no escape route for the people of Cape Cod since, in the event of a nuclear accident, the Sagamore Bridge will be closed and only one lane of the Boume Bridge will be open.
Whereas the Pilgrim Station is highly vulnerable to terrorist attack mainly because of the above ground, densely crowded spent fuel pool with no containment structure, which presently houses 2,278 spent fuel rods in a pool designed for 880 (with more added every eighteen months).
Therefore, be it resolved that We the People of Harwich ask:
A. the Massachusetts Department of Public Health to provide Potassium iodide (protection for the thyroid gland) to our town's Health Department (in accordance with provisions of recently enacted legislation - S. 2456);
B. the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) and the Massachusetts Emergency Management Agency to provide us with emergency planning including:
- 1. immediate notification of any serious accident or abnormal occurrence at the Pilgrim Nuclear Power Station;
- 2. designated radiological safe shelters;
- 3. written directives for each residence as to how to proceed in a radiological emergency.
C. the NRC to direct the Pilgrim Nuclear Power Station to proceed in all haste to transfer the spent fuel rods to the far safer Dry Cash storage.
The Harwich Town Clerk shall send these requests to : Assistant Commissioner Nancy Ridley at the Massachusetts Department of Public Health; Commissioner McGrail at the Massachusetts Emergency Management Agency; the Nuclear Regulatory Commission in Rockville, MD; Governor Romney; all appropriate state and federal representatives; and the Harwich Civil Defense Director.
YES 1164 NO 239 Blanks 134 TOTAL 1537 Respectfully submitted Anita N. Doucette Harwich Town Clerk pc: Milton Hirshberg w -
