Gov Hochul and State Assembly: Pass the Save the Hudson Bill!

Governor Hochul and the State Assembly: Pass the Save the Hudson Bill!

After decades of grassroots advocacy, New York rightfully closed down the Indian Point nuclear power plant. But now Holtec International, the company in charge of decommissioning the plant, wants to dump the radioactive waste from the plant’s spent fuel into the Hudson River this summer, instead of holding and safely breaking down the toxic waste on site.

Just recently, the Save the Hudson bill passed the State Senate! That bill would make it illegal for Holtec to dump its radioactive waste into the Hudson River. Now the State Assembly and governor's signature is the only thing standing between hundreds of thousands of New Yorkers and clean, safe water.

Urge Governor Hochul and the State Assembly to make Save the Hudson bill the law of the land and make sure the our Governor does everything in her power to stop Holtec from dumping radioactive waste in our beloved Hudson River!

Dear Governor Hochul and NY State Assembly,

Please pass the Save the Hudson bill (A.7208/S.6893) and do everything in your power 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 pass 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,
