Anti nuclear Pilgrim Watch in hearing by Atomic Safety and Licensing Board

Anti-nuclear activists in Mass. seek hearing, Boston Herald, By Associated Press, June 7, 2012 –   Activists who say federal regulators haven’t done enough to fix nuclear power plant flaws exposed by last year’s accident in Japan are arguing a nuclear safety board should hear their case.

The Atomic Safety and Licensing Board met in Boston today to hear from attorneys for Pilgrim Watch, which opposes the Pilgrim Nuclear Power Station in Plymouth. The board was trying to determine if it should hold a broader evidentiary hearing about Pilgrim Watch’s claims….. A Pilgrim Watch attorney said even if the fixes make plants marginally
safer, they still don’t adequately protect the public, and that gives Pilgrim Watch standing to try to overturn them. ww.bostonherald.com/business/general/view/20120607anti-nuclear_activists_in_mass_seek_hearing/
