THE CASE AGAINST OYSTER CREEK NUCLEAR REACTOR:

AN UNNECESSARY RISK

Oyster Creek is one of the oldest reactors in the nation and is suffering serious 
age-related degradation, compounding problems with an antiquated and dangerous 
reactor design. Surrounding ecology cannot survive the plant's operation and its 
electricity is not essential. In short, there is no sound public policy basis for 
continuing to operate Oyster Creek beyond its intended lifespan.

• Ecological Havoc: Oyster Creek uses an outdated cooling water system that has 
an enormous impact on the surrounding marine ecosystem. In fact, the dredging of 
the cooling water canal in the 1960s caused the Forked River to reverse its flow. 
Oyster Creek also has adverse impacts on marine species, killing fish and threatened 
and endangered turtles.

• High Air Emissions: Oyster Creek has emitted more radiation than almost 
every other plant in the country combined.

• Growing Population & Impossible Evacuation: The plant is located near dense 
and growing population canters with poor access routes that at certain times of 
the year would make a quick evacuation impossible.

• Antiquated & Unsafe Reactor Design: The Boiling Water design of this 40 year 
old reactor would not be licensed today and has even been acknowledged by 
industry supporters as problematic.
