- TITLE:
OPPOSING REOPENING OF MILLSTONE REACTORS WHEREAS, the Town of Southampton is one of five townships comprising the entire eastern end of Long Island containing a year round population of more than 110,000 persons; and WHEREAS, the function of the Nuclear Regulatory-Commission (NRC), a federal agency regulating interests in the energy industry, is to protect the health and safety of the public; and WHEREAS, the Town Board of the Town of Southampton is ultimately responsible for the safety, health, and emergency preparedness of the citizens of the Town; and WHEREAS, there is an apparent lack of any federal requirements for Northeast Utilities in Waterford Connecticut to include the East End of Long Island in its evacuation planning, d(vpite the fact that the reactors are located approximately fifteen miles across the Long Island Sound frcm the shores of eastern Long Island, and have evidenced a poor record of compliance to safety regulations; Northeast Utilities have not been permitted to operate the three reactore since 1985 due to operational problems including improper procedures for refueling; Millstone One has been permanently shut down due to past safety violations, however, the NRC granted permission for Northeast Utilities to reopen and operate Millstone Two and Millstone Three; Millstone Three is presently running since June 1998 and Northeast Utilities will be trying to restart Millstone Two in Spring 1999; and WHEREAS, the Town of Southampton, together with other communities of the East End, have concerns that the requirements of safety and a safety-conscious work environment have not been adequately shown by Northeast Utilities to neighboring communities, despite recent approvals granted by the Nuclear Regulatory Commission; and WHEREAS: Research has shown that even low level radiation from an operating nuclear reactor is carcinogenic; a risk of increased cancer rates due to radioactive pollution is cited; and the potential exists that nuclear accidents at these sites across the Long Island Sound may pose health a'nd safety threats to the communities of the Peconic Region with catastrophic effects to our population, ecosystems, and local economy and no evacuation plan in existence, no requirement for such plan for Northeast 1
