Cape Downwinders, a group opposed to the Pilgrim Nuclear Power Station, wrote a citizens advisory question calling for the plant’s closure.
14 Cape towns have voted to support the group and its efforts, according to the Cape Cod Times.
Falmouth voted to support the effort Tuesday; Barnstable voters will take up the question during a fall election.
The group is now ready to take their concerns to the top.
Co-founder Diane Turco told the Cape Cod Times they plan to ask Governor Patrick to urge the Nuclear Regulatory Commission to shut down the plant.
Among other issues, the group believes the plant stores an unsafe amount of spent fuel rods and is concerned about the lack of evacuation plan for Cape Cod in the event of a disaster.
