The continued operation of the General Electric Mark I Boiling Water Reactors in the United States and around the world, like those destroyed and now leaking radioactivity in Fukushima, is increasingly dangerous and irresponsible. The clearest evidence is demonstrated by the plight of the Japanese people now faced with a 24-mile diameter radioactive "no inhabitation" zone in addition to the wreckage of the March 11, 2011 Great Eastern Japan Earthquake and Tsunami.
More communities around the United States like Plymouth, Massachasetts are standing up and asking questions about these dangerously flawed and aging power reactors in their backyards. On Saturday, May 7th, a Rally for Safety will take place at Plymouth Rock, not far from the Pilgrim nuclear power plant (pictured left), organized by Pilgrim: Make Us Safe Today. The rally featuring a strong line-up of speakers including Paul Gunter of Beyond Nuclear will take place from 10am to 12 noon.
