Will you help your community learn about C-10 and be safer?

If you're reading this,  you share my concerns about keeping the seacoast safe.  And, if you’ve been following C-10's work, you know that we’ve been very busy with our case relative to the Seabrook nuclear plant’s degraded concrete.

Whatever happens with this case, Seabrook will be with us for some time—regardless of whether it continues to operate for another 30 years, as it’s been licensed to do by the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission.

That’s why I believe it’s more important than ever that we have an independent group like C-10 keeping tabs on safety concerns at Seabrook, serving as an educational resource for the public, and operating our real-time radiological monitoring network as we have since 1991.

C-10 has a small staff, and relies on volunteers to help with things like organizing educational events, updating communication lists and serving as liaisons to the 23 cities and towns within Seabrook nuclear plant’s emergency planning zone.

 As the Chair of C-10’s Outreach and Development Committee, I’m committed to increasing C-10’s visibility and our impact—but I can’t do it alone!

If you live in the region and would like to help “spread the word,” we want you to know about volunteer opportunities, and we’d love to hear your ideas as well. Here are some of the things I’d like us to do in the coming year:

• Brainstorm with interested volunteers about how to make C-10 a more visible force in our communities.
• Connect with local officials, including first responders and health officials in the region. Possible projects include education about C-10’s radiological monitoring network and assessing the availability of pPotassium iodide (KI) for those who live in the 10-mile planning zone.
• Conduct outreach to schools, community groups and businesses to discuss the realities of living near a nuclear plant and explain C-10’s vital role in keeping the region safe.  
• Host informational meetings for small groups or the general public.
• Support initiatives facilitated by other committees of C-10, including research and fundraising.

YOU CAN BE A FORCE FOR CHANGE IN YOUR COMMUNITY AND MEET OTHER INTERESTED VOLUNTEERS.

WILLING TO HELP?  E-mail me!  I’d love to hear from you by November 15, in hopes of pulling together a meeting in the next month. Thanks for your consideration, and for your support of C-10!

Sincerely,

Karen Clagett

C-10 Board Member
