Change.org Petition: Dumping radioactive waste

Nearly 1 million gallons of radioactive water could be dumped into the Hudson River this summer. Holetc International’s decision to dump the waste would endanger the community, the wildlife, and hundreds of thousands of people who drink from the Hudson River. The river is already a federally designated toxic site, and this planned radioactive waste dumping could cause long-term health effects. Join JD and thousands of supporters to stop Holtec from dumping their radioactive waste into the Hudson River. Stop the 1 million gallons of radioactive waste to be dumped into the Hudson River! 346,367 have signed J D’s petition. Let’s get to 500,000!
