Governor Hochul: Sign the Save the Hudson Bill!

New York's Legislature just passed a bill through both houses to stop the dumping of radioactive waste in the Hudson RIver. Now we need Governor Hochul to sign it into law. So far, she's uncommitted, and she needs to hear from New Yorkers now.

Holtec, the company in charge of decommissioning the Indian Point nuclear power plant, wants to dump over a million gallons of radioactive wastewater into the Hudson River this summer, instead of holding and safely breaking down the toxic waste on site. The Legislature has taken action; now it's Governor Hochul's turn.

Urge Governor Hochul to sign Save the Hudson bill into law!

Dear Governor Hochul,

Please sign the Save the Hudson bill (A.7208/S.6893) into law to stop Holtec International from dumping over one million gallons of radioactive wastewater from the Indian Point spent fuel pools into the Hudson River.

We cannot allow the Hudson River to serve as a dumping ground for nuclear waste. Holtec must keep the spent fuel on site and find an alternative method to safely dispose of the plant's toxic waste. You must not sit on this legislation until the end of the year, as Holtec plans to dump its radioactive waste into the Hudson as early as August.

Message Body

Over the last several months, overwhelming bipartisan opposition that has sprung up, including over 30 New York municipalities formally passing resolutions in opposition to dumping radioactive waste in the Hudson River, countless elected officials at all levels of government condemning the plan, and nearly half a million people speaking out against Holtec.

I urge you to do the right thing and prevent Holtec from dumping this toxic, radioactive waste in the Hudson. Please sign the Save the Hudson bill (A.7208/S.6893) and do everything in your power to ensure Holtec keeps the waste on site until other safer options for disposal have been explored.

Sincerely,
