ZOMBIE NUKE?!

Please take part in important January 14, 2025 meeting!

(Note, this meeting was originally scheduled for Jan. 9, 2025. However, on Jan. 6, NRC notified registered participants that it was being postponed till Jan. 14. NRC explained: “This meeting was rescheduled due to the federal government closing on January 9, 2025.” The reason the federal government was closed on Jan. 9, per the order of President Biden, was to honor former President Jimmy Carter, and mourn his passing.)

Beyond Nuclear’s resistance against Holtec International’s dirty, dangerous, and expensive schemes continues, and is intensifying.

Oral argument pre-hearings before an Atomic Safety and Licensing Board Panel (ASLBP), regarding our environmental coalition’s legal intervention against the unprecedented, unneeded, insanely expensive, and high risk “zombie” reactor restart on the Lake Michigan shore in southwest Michigan, are scheduled for February 12, 2025, beginning at 8:30am Eastern Time, at the Nuclear Regulatory Commission’s headquarters in Rockville, MD. Teleconference numbers for remote listening-in will be provided as soon as the ASLBP makes them available.

(U.S. Supreme Court oral arguments, including re: Holtec’s high-level radioactive waste dump targeting New Mexico — as well as the very closely related Interim Storage Partners’ dump targeting Texas — are scheduled for March 5.)

A hybrid technical meeting between Holtec and NRC re: steam generator tube degradation and piping “leak-before-break” (or NOT!) risks is scheduled for Jan. 14, also at NRC HQ. Participation by webinar and/or teleconference is an option. A full hour has been scheduled for public comments, as well as Q&A with NRC staff. Please help us hold their feet to the fire!

Here are sample talking points you can use to help prepare your own for the hour-long public comment/question and answer session with NRC staff scheduled for the final hour of the meeting.

Pre-registration for the January 14, 2025 webinar is required, here.
