What's New
A settlement reached between the State of Maryland and Constellation Energy on March 27 helps pave the way for Constellation Energy to build a dangerous new nuclear power plant in Maryland.
Maryland PIRG continues to make the case in the media and through our advocacy that nuclear power plants are unsafe and expensive, and that cleaner, safer, and more affordable alternatives exist.

the Nuclear Regulatory Commission is collecting comments on what they should consider as they study the environmental impact of the proposed reactor until April 4th. Click here to send an e-mail to the NRC representative expressing your concerns, or sign up here to come to the meeting.
Overview
In October 2006, Constellation Energy announced plans to build
the nation’s largest nuclear power plant in southern Maryland.
Nuclear power is a poor solution to Maryland’s energy and global warming
problems. Not only is nuclear power extremely expensive, but it also poses threats to public safety and the
environment.
Maryland PIRG is working to stop the construction of a new nuclear
reactor in Maryland and is advocating for safer and more affordable
alternatives.
