Letter to Hayes Township Advisory Focus Group and Planning Commission, re: need for zoning at the former Big Rock Point nuclear plant to absolutely minimize human exposure to hazardous radioactivity

On Feb. 6, 2023, Beyond Nuclear and Don’t Waste Michigan wrote the Hayes Township, Michigan, Advisory Focus Group and Planning Commission. They emphasized the need for zoning at the former Big Rock Point nuclear power plant to absolutely minimize human exposure to the lingering hazardous radioactive contamination of the site, as well as to the highly radioactive wastes that will likely remain stored there for decades or longer.
