C-10 20th Radiation Monitoring Site Ribbon-Cutting Celebration on Star Island
July 14, 2024
Isles of Shoals Steamship Company facilitated the cruise to and from Star Island on the M/V Thomas Leighton, three story steamship vessel. Ribbon-cutting event took place at the C-10 radiation monitoring site located behind the historic Oceanic Hotel on Star Island in the Isles of Shoals, off the coast of Rye, NH. Remarks were given by Star Island CEO Joe Watts, C-10 Executive Director Sarah Abramson, Portsmouth Chamber of Commerce VP Nate Hastings, and NH State Senator Debra Altschiller. This radiation monitoring site is the only radiation monitoring of the air tracking Seabrook Station's radiological emissions to the east of the plant, which is where the prevailing winds blow the emissions most of the time. This data plays a critical role in filling in gaps in our knowledge of how radiation travels across ocean waters, and is a tool to ensure the protection of the people visiting and working on Star Island and the other islands in the Isles of Shoals such as Appledore island which houses researchers year-round.

Confessions of a Rogue Nuclear Regulator: Dr. Gregory Jaczko, former Chairman of the US Nuclear Regulatory Commission gave a public lecture and held a book signing. 
September 12, 2019
Dr. Jaczko served as Chairman of the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission from 2009-2012, and as a commissioner from 2005-2009. As Chairman, he played a lead role in the American government’s response to the Fukushima nuclear accident in Japan. Jaczko is now an adjunct professor at Princeton University and Georgetown University, and an entrepreneur with a clean energy development company. Jaczko had never heard of the Nuclear Regulatory Commission when he arrived in Washington like a modern-day Mr. Smith. But, thanks to the determination of a powerful senator, he would soon find himself at the agency’s helm. A Birkenstocks-wearing physics PhD, Jaczko was unlike any chairman the agency had ever seen: he was driven by a passion for technology and a concern for public safety, with no ties to the industry and no agenda other than to ensure that his agency made the world a safer place. More info about his book, Confessions of a Rogue Nuclear Regulator, here.
