[External_Sender] Pilgrim- Request close/power down pending blizzard Hello:

The Town of Duxbury Nuclear Advisory Committee and Pilgrim Watch request that Pilgrim Station close, or at the least power way down, due to the predicted blizzard conditions from the National Weather Service. See below. We understand that the wind speed predicted is below the level protocol calls for a mandatory shut down. However, the National Weather Service says that, Travel will be very dangerous.. Therefore a timely evacuation would not be possible. Sheltering inside is a limited option. EPA shows that dose reduction is limited and in a short period the dose inside and outside become equivalent, Table 2.1. says that generally, sheltering-in-place can provide significant protection for about 2 hours2.314815e-5 days <br />5.555556e-4 hours <br />3.306878e-6 weeks <br />7.61e-7 months <br /> in small residential structures. Larger masonry structures can provide protection for up to 5 hours5.787037e-5 days <br />0.00139 hours <br />8.267196e-6 weeks <br />1.9025e-6 months <br />. The host community and surrounding towns are largely residential with wooden houses.

We urge NRC to take a precautionary approach to better protect our citizens.

Thank you for your consideration.
