High Hello:
How is there even a pretense of providing reasonable assurance if Entergy, the licensee, says that they leave the nuclear power plant critically understaffed?
Entergys own words dictate that Pilgrim Watchs 2.206 should be accepted in addition to safety issues raised in the petition and supplements.
Thank-you for our consideration, Mary Lampert Pilgrim Watch
http://www.myfoxboston.com/story/18714143/2012/06/06/contract-dispute-union-workers-escorted-out-of-pilgrim-power-plant (PLYMOUTH (AP) - A labor dispute at the Pilgrim nuclear power plant in Plymouth has boiled over with management locking out unionized workers and both sides accusing the other of compromising public safety.
The president of the Utility Workers Union of America Local 369 said Wednesday that plant owner Entergy locked out unionized employees after contract negotiations ended Tuesday.
The union represents about 90 percent of the plant's work force.
President Dan Hurley called the move "deeply alarming." He called it "despicable" that management continues "shortchanging" employees a week after getting a 20-year license renewal. He says Louisiana-based Entergy is demanding "major concessions on health care, salary and staffing."
Entergy said the plant has implemented an emergency staffing plan because the union reserved the right to walk off the job at any time.
Entergy Nuclear Statement:
Entergy Implements Contingency Plan
Plymouth, Mass. - Entergy Nuclear, the company that owns and operates the Pilgrim Nuclear Power Station is implementing a contingency staffing plan after weeks of negotiations between the Company and the Utility Workers Union of America Local 369 leadership were unsuccessful in reaching an agreement for a new union contract.
Local 369 has stated flatly that while its members are not on strike, they reserve the right to walk off the job at any time, without any notice, and leave the nuclear power plant critically understaffed and in violation of the plant's operating license. This disregard for public safety is unacceptable. Accordingly, the company's contingency plan is being implemented.
The contingency plan for temporary alternate staffing is consistent with Nuclear Regulatory Commission regulations and is in the interest of safety and maintaining formal organizational controls on the plant site. Highly qualified individuals from within Pilgrim's management team as well as the Entergy nuclear fleet will be filling the necessary positions.
