The PSEG whistleblower has confirmed that he will indeed appear on 3/28 and be the main speaker at our rally.
Please come out on 3/28 and listen to and support the person who had the courage to demand that PSEG run their nukes safely, instead of for maximum short term profits.
Help us send the message to the NRC and PSEG - NO TMI ON THE DELAWARE -
UNPLUG SALEM NOW!
See you all on 3/28.

The NRC's annual assessment letters, dated March 3rd 2004, continue to point out the NRC's concerns with the poor safety culture at both of the Salem Nukes and the Hope Creek Nuke: "Cross-cutting issues involved instances of ineffective, untimely problem solving and corrective actions (and) numerous inspection findings which indicate that weaknesses continue."~
Commented Norm Cohen, UNPLUG Salem Campaign Coordinator, "For the last three years we've been saying that the safety environment at PSEG's nuclear plants is dangerous. Now we have concrete proof. Close those dangerous nuclear plants down now!"
Please join us on March 281hto make sure that Salem and Hope Creek do not become our own TMI on the Delaware.
