For Immediate Release: Holtec Statement on Recent Questions About Pilgrim Nuclear Station's Processed Water Plans

[Diane Turco]

Hi All, 

Updated info that Holtec is holding off on a decision until the end of 2022 is below. We still don’t trust them! We are organizing groups from environmental to realtors to shellfish businesses to call for an environmentally safe plan to manage the million gallons of radioactive water. Even though not mandated, there must be state and stakeholder approval that does not include dumping into Cape Cod Bay. We are encouraging everyone to come to our Jan. 24 speakout at 5:30 at Plymouth Town Hall and then attend the Nuclear Decommissioning Citizens Advisory Panel meeting there at 6:30. Holtec reps are on the panel so you directly speak to them. We have asked Sen. Markey and Rep. Keating to attend and also our Cape legislators. Let’s stand together to protect Cape Cod Bay.

Don’t stop being alarmed! Diane

All,

 

Please see the statement below regarding recent questions and concerns for Holtec’s plans for disposal of processed water at the decommissioning Pilgrim Nuclear Power Station.  Any questions please let me know.

 

“Since the November 22^nd Nuclear Decommissioning Citizens Advisory meeting there have been questions and concerns around the final disposition of processed water on the site.  We have been consistent in our messaging since that meeting that over the next year we will be evaluating the regulatory approved options available and no final decisions have been made. The EPA and NRC have strict regulations regarding the disposition of all effluents from any decommissioning site and Holtec confirms that these requirements will be followed in all states where we conduct operations.  We wanted to share that in the near term the decision at Pilgrim has been made that the processed water will remain on site, safely stored, and that we will not discharge any processed water in 2022 while this evaluation is undertaken.  We appreciate and understand the public’s questions and concerns and remain committed to an open, transparent process on the decommissioning of Pilgrim Station focused on the health and safety of the public, the environment, and on-site personnel .”
