Why this petition matters

Started by J D

Beginning August 2023, The owner of the defunct Indian Point nuclear facility says it’s planning to dump about 1 million gallons of radioactive water into the Hudson River. The move, which the company describes as the “best option” for the waste. 


Environmental groups and residents are also concerned this could harm their community, as the Hudson River is already a federally designated toxic Superfund site. Rich Burroni, Holtec’s site https://holtecinternational.com/ vice president for Indian Point, agreed to give the community at least a month's notice before any radioactive discharge into the Hudson River begins.

This can cause unknown long term health effects on our community, children, wildlife, hundreds of thousands drinking water etc. 

Please sign and pass along this petition to STOP the dumping of radioactive waste into the Hudson River.

UPDATE:

Holtec is fast tracking from August to May, despite public outcry!
