ACTION ALERT - SPRING 2011

Thank you for engaging in the struggle to close Indian Point.

The relicensing of the reactors at IP 2 and 3 must be stopped. Even if you feel that nuclear power may offer some advantages, the reactors at Indian Point are located in the wrong place. The risks are just too great.

Here is what you can do NOW! Pick one action and do it. Or, better yet, do as many as you can!

NRC's assessment of safety performance at Indian
Point

Please try to come! This will be an important meeting. The U. S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) will meet with the
public to discuss the NRC's assessment of safety performance at Indian
Point for 2010. The NRC will respond to questions on specific
performance issues at the plant and our role in ensuring safe plant
operations.

 TBA: IPSEC would like to plan a screening of To Eternity, the documentary on the Finish nuclear depository. Okolo, the place you must remember to forget. This is the film that opened in NYC in February and it is astonishing. Scientists talking about communicating with people 10,000 years from now and how to do it. Very eerie music and narration with footage from inside the facility. We are looking for a place to hold a screening. We have a screening copy. If anyone is interested we would be happy to lend it around or maybe we could have an organizers screening?
