EPA rejects Holtec Pilgrim Plant wastewater discharging plan, see why they disagreed
July 20, 2022
The company overseeing the decommissioning of the Pilgrim Nuclear Power Station in Plymouth has landed in a bit of hot water with the Environmental Protection Agency.
The EPA rejected what it described as Holtec Decommissioning International’s (HDI) “novel interpretation” of its current permits regarding what sort of wastewater can and cannot be discharged into Cape Cod Bay from the inactive spent fuel pool and other sources at the Manomet plant, which closed in 2019.
