Someone needs to tell Town Manager Melissa Arrighi to SHUT UP! 

Plymouth is more upset that the report was released than its contents!

Kudos for the 'MISTAKE'!

Following the emergency meeting, Town Manager Melissa Arrighi told Old Colony Memorial that, from her perspective, the "big issue" was not what was stated in the email, but that it was released to the public in the first place.

"It is beyond irresponsible for these preliminary findings or internal notes to be seen by the public without proper context," Arrighi said, "and without the completion of a fair and objective process to the entity being reviewed."

Arrighi said the release of what she called "raw data" has caused unnecessary alarm in the community, "and this from the very agency that is supposed to protect and instill confidence in the public.

"Making such information public by accident or deliberately, prior to it being an official part of the final inspection report is a serious violation of federal rules and regulations," Arrighi said, "and a violation of the public trust."

Arrighi called for an investigation and prosecution "to the fullest extent of the law.

PLYMOUTH - Operators have shut down the reactor at Pilgrim Nuclear Power Station due to a main steam line leak discovered during a "walk down" inspection of the plant.

Pilgrim had reduced power on Thursday to 25 percent, to perform some required periodic testing of valves related to the operation of the plant's turbine.

Maintenance that can't be done when the reactor is operating will now be done during the shutdown, according to Patrick O'Brien, spokesman for Entergy Corp., the owner-operator of the plant.

O'Brien said he can't disclose when the plant will be back online due to market sensitive issues.
