Petition Gov. Patrick to call on NRC to close Pilgrim

PETITION STATEMENT
We the people respectfully request Governor Deval Patrick to call upon the Nuclear Regulatory Commission to uphold their mandate to shut Entergy's Pilgrim Nuclear Power Station in Plymouth because the public safety, particularly of Cape Cod and the Islands' residents and visitors, cannot be assured.
Petition Background
The Cape and Islands are an incredible place to visit, and even more so to live. Unfortunately, our lives here are threatened by the Pilgrim Nuclear Power Station in Plymouth which has had numerous leaks lately. The power station has the same design that Fukushima had. Pilgrim pulls over 500 million gallons of water from Cape Cod Bay daily. The water is returned, much hotter, after cooling the reactor, thus killing countless fish and marine organisms which violates the Endangered Species Act. The state has admitted that in case of emergency at the plant, they would close the bridges, cutting off the Cape from any chance of evacuation by land. The plant needs to be closed NOW. Please sign our petition and let Gov. Patrick know you want to protect our beautiful Cape Cod and Islands, and that you want this addressed immediately.
