WHAT HOLTEC DOESN'T SPEND, IT GETS TO KEEP! A good reason for #Hotel to cut costs!!!

"Webster noted that, without state legislation, only federal agencies such as the Environmental Protection Agency and the Nuclear Regulatory Commission have the authority to stop any release. The #EPA has put a hold on a Holtec plan to discharge radioactive water from the shuttered #PilgrimNuclear Power Plant in #Massachusetts into #CapeCod Bay until a third party can verify that the release would be safe.

The Pilgrim plant is one of two other nuclear power plants in the Northeast that Holtec is decommissioning; the other is #OysterCreek in #NewJersey. Last week, Holtec told the NRC that it would take four years longer than planned to finish decommissioning Pilgrim and Oyster Creek, citing inflation and 'poor market performance.' All three projects are being paid for by trust funds that were set up while the plants were in operation and funded by the public via their power bills. What Holtec doesn’t spend, it gets to keep."

#Holtec plans to dump [#radioactive] water into #HudsonRiver this summer

February 13, 2023

"Although filtered, the water will contain #tritium, a radioactive form of hydrogen difficult to remove. The firm says the release will cause minimal problems because the water will disperse...

"At the meeting of the oversight board, Rich Burroni, a Holtec representative, said that the company plans to release the water in late August or early September, although he would not rule out dumping it sooner.

"Throughout the evening, members of the oversight board repeatedly said that members of the public concerned with Holtec’s plans should contact the #EPA or #NRC. In #Massachusetts, the EPA has put a hold on a Holtec plan to discharge radioactive water from the #PilgrimNuclear Power Plant into #CapeCod Bay until a third-party can verify that the release would be safe."
