Pilgrim Nuclear

New testing of water inside the Pilgrim Nuclear Power Station indicates that it contains non-nuclear pollutants.

Healey said the company that owns Pilgrim, Holtec, won’t be allowed to discharge a million gallons of nuclear wastewater on her watch, either as attorney general or if she’s elected governor.

Heather Govern, a CLF vice president, said placing nuclear waste into long-term storage would eliminate immediate concerns for the ecosystem.

Markey suggested at a hearing in Plymouth last week that the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution test the water, but WHOI does not do land-based water testing, according to senior scientist Ken Buesseler, a marine radiochemist.

Leslie Danielson of Plymouth was one of many residents to speak against the possibility of Pilgrim owner Holtec releasing radioactive water into Cape Cod Bay.

Kris Singh, CEO and founder of Holtec, made the statement at a Senate hearing in Plymouth chaired by U.S. Sen. Ed Markey.

The CEO of Holtec, the company that owns Pilgrim, is scheduled to testify on video.

The bill would make it illegal to dispose of radioactive material in Massachusetts “in any coastal or inland waters” or “on any land owned by any other person.”

Union laborers say they’ve been locked out of their jobs at Pilgrim Nuclear Power Station for several weeks over something that happened at a national meeting with the owner, Holtec, in Washington, D.C. The company disagrees with the union’s characterization of the situation as a lockout.
