C-10 Research and Education Foundation
Founded in 1991, C-10 monitors the Seabrook Station nuclear power plant and advocates for public and environmental health in Massachusetts, New Hampshire, and beyond. C-10 operates a radiological airborne monitoring system within Seabrook Station’s Emergency Planning Zone (EPZ) to monitor radiological releases from the plant. C-10 works under contract with the Massachusetts Department of Public Health to provide this service. Their website, C-10.org, is full of information on the status of the Seabrook power plant, including the plant’s degraded concrete.

The Citizens Awareness Network
The Citizens Awareness Network (CAN) is a western Massachusetts-based grassroots environmental organization working to end the production of unaffordable and dangerous nuclear waste and power, and replace it with sustainable, reliable, and affordable energy generation. They are committed to a democratically led, environmentally just, and scientifically sound solution for nuclear waste. CAN is a regional group, with over 4,000 members in New England and the Northeast that was instrumental in the closure of 4 New England reactors—Yankee Rowe, CT Yankee, Millstone Unit 1, and Vermont Yankee.

The Clamshell Alliance
In the 1970s, the Clamshell Alliance organized occupations of the Seabrook New Hampshire nuclear power plant site and inspired a national anti-nuke movement. (Read more about the Clamshell Alliance and the birth of the anti-nuclear movement.)
Today, with a tsunami of nuclear power propaganda sweeping the globe, a group of orginal Clam members from the 1970s and ‘80s have been meeting, writing, and organizing a response to the nuclear industry’s plans to build a new generation of reactors.

The New England Coalition on Nuclear Pollution
The New England Coalition has been the people’s advocate for safe energy since 1971. They investigate the safety, suitability, and environmental effects of nuclear power plants; participate in government hearings; and inform the public and government agencies of the hazards and risks of nuclear power. NECNP played a critical role in Vermont Yankee’s decision to shut down their plant in 2014 and continues to push for the safe decommissioning of the plant, while highlighting ongoing issues with the region’s other nuclear plants and renewable alternatives.
