FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE NO MORE FUKUSHIMAS SEPTEMBER 7, 2015 Contact: Bruce Skud at bskud@verizon.net FOUR NEWBURYPORT CITY COUNCILORS CALL FOR SEABROOK REACTOR SHUTDOWN On August 11, 2015, four members of the Newburyport City Council called upon the US Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) to shut down the Seabrook nuclear reactor on behalf of public safety.
Councilors Ed Cameron, Barry Connell, Bob Cronin, and Allison Heartquist signed the letter to NRC Chairman Burns. Their stand represents the first time municipal elected officials have called for a Seabrook reactor shutdown. Our state delegation comprised of Senator Kathleen OConnor Ives and former Representative Michael Costello did so in 2013.
According to the Councilors, The people who live and work In Newburyport do not want a Fukushima disaster here; we stand with them shoulder-to-shoulder. On behalf of the lives and the livelihood of the people we represent, we urge the NRC to withdraw the license to operate Seabrook Station.
Specifically, the councilors urge the NRC to withdraw the license to operate Seabrook Station because (1) The plant is at risk of a nuclear incident due to extensive concrete degradation [due to alkali-silica reaction] throughout the plants foundation and the building that contains the nuclear reactor.
(2) Should an accident, incident, or act of terrorism occur, evacuation plans for a radiological release are destined to fail.
The councilors state that they are profoundly disturbed by the NRCs oversight. They write that the NRC has repeatedly bent over backwards to support NextEras recklessness in continuing to operate the plant and ask for a 20-year license extension in a post-ASR era. They write:
