Rally to Close Monticello Nuclear Plant!

Thursday, November 21, 2024, 4:00-5:00 PM, Xcel Energy, 401 Nicollet Mall, Minneapolis, MN

UPCOMING RALLY ✊☮️🌎! Close Monticello Nuclear Plant!

We oppose Xcel Energy’s request to extend, for 20 more years, the current operating license of Monticello Nuclear Generating Plant. The plant on the Mississippi River, 35 miles northwest of Minneapolis, is 53 years old, already among the three oldest in the United States. Recent radioactive leaks at the reactor pose serious threats to public health, the Mississippi River, and drinking water for millions.

Tell Xcel to shut down the ancient Monticello Nuclear Generating Plant!

Organized by Coalition For a Nuclear-Free Mississippi River, WAMM, and Indigenous Earth Protectors

⚠️ Sign the Petition to Demand 2030 Monticello Nuclear Reactor Closure ⚠️

Please take one minute to sign a petition demanding to keep the Monticello Nuclear Reactor’s 2030 closure date as Xcel Energy seeks to run its 53 year-old reactor for another 20 years!

A massive leak at the reactor in 2022 released radioactivity into the Mississippi River and contaminated the groundwater beneath the reactor with levels of radioactive tritium 250 times greater than the EPA’s safe drinking water limit.

Please share this widely. Help us reach one million signatures by the end of this year, before the Minnesota Public Utilities Commission issues its decision to keep this reactor operating!
