The company decommissioning the Pilgrim Nuclear Power Station agreed, again, to cooperate with an independent environmental study, but refused U.S. Senator Ed Markey's demand that they pay for it.
"Holtec is trying to push the bill for an independent study back on the ratepayers who already paid into the decommissioning trust fund for years. That is unacceptable," said Sen. Markey."Holtec can't pretend it's meeting its commitments while dodging its debt to the community."amend Pilgrim's wastewater permit
About 50 protesters gathered outside Plymouth Town Hall before the most recent NDCAP meeting on March 27, holding signs with slogans like"Dump in our Bay? No way!" as passing motorists honked their horns in support. The meeting itself was standing-room-only, with about 100 people filling Plymouth's Great Hall.
Holtec has also agreed to allow the state to conduct its own analysis of the water. Representatives from Holtec and the Massachusetts Departments of Environmental Protection and Public Health are scheduled to collect water samples on April 5. Each group will analyze the water samples separately and should have results within a month.
The Healey-Driscoll Administration has also expressed"serious concerns" about Holtec's plan to discharge wastewater from the nuclear plant into Cape Cod bay"and is monitoring this situation closely," according to a statement from MassDEP.
