<div style><span style="font-size:12pt">Although Pilgrim Nuclear Power Station officially received its 20-year license renewal from the Nuclear Regulatory Commission last week, Lousiana-based Entergy corporation is not out of the woods yet! Governor Patrick called the decision "irresponsible" and U.S. Congressman Markey, U.S. Rep Keating and State Sen. Dan Wolf weighed in against it as well. Pilgrim Coalition agrees Entergy should not have received this license given the significant unresolved safety and environmental concerns. </span></div>

<div><font size="3" face="arial, helvetica, sans-serif">The Nuclear Regulatory Commission's licensing board (the ASLB) is having a hearing in Boston on <b>Thursday, June 7 at the McCormack Building, 5 Post Office Square, Boston.</b> While the hearing will be held in Boston, the content pertains to all Mark 1 boiling water reactors in the U.S., which have the same faulty design as the Fukushima reactors. The hearing concerns NRC orders meant to enhance the safety of U.S. nuclear reactors using lessons learned from the disaster at Fukushima, Japan in March 2011. The Pilgrim Coalition feels the NRC's proposals are "band-aids" and are inadequate for Pilgrim Nuclear Power Station. </font></div>

<div><font size="3" face="arial, helvetica, sans-serif"> </font></div><div><font size="3" face="arial, helvetica, sans-serif">The hearing was requested by Pilgrim Coalition member Pilgrim Watch of Duxbury in response to three orders issued by the NRC. Pilgrim Watch argues that the orders do not adequately meet concerns about spent fuel pools and containment vents. The Atomic Safety and Licensing Board assigned to review the request concluded that the filings raised several issues that require further exploration and deserve an oral argument session. </font></div>
