While waiting for a permit, so far denied, the company is quietly venting <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/tritium" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>tritium</span></a> into the air."</p><p>by Linda Pentz Gunter, Posted on December 29, 2024 </p><p>"Holtec, the company that has purchased a number of permanently closed <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/nuclear" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>nuclear</span></a> reactors in order to decommission them, has encountered yet another obstacle to its '<a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/dilution" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>dilution</span></a> is the solution to pollution' plans.</p><p>"One of the reactor sites Holtec has taken over is <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/PilgrimNuclearPlant" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>PilgrimNuclearPlant</span></a> in Plymouth, Massachusetts, on the Cape Cod Bay, which closed permanently in 2019. Holtec’s not-so-little problem there is what do with what started out as at least 1.1 million gallons of radioactively contaminated <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/wastewater" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>wastewater</span></a> stored at the site. </p><p>"The company first suggested it would simply release the wastewater into Cape Cod Bay, assuring residents and the immediately alarmed fishing community not to worry because (a) the wastewater isn’t dangerous anyway (b) everyone does this all the time at reactor sites and no one has gotten sick so far and (c) it would quickly disperse into the wider ocean. Holtec chose this disposal method for one reason alone: it is the cheapest.</p><p>"The proposal was vigorously fought by citizens, the state, and powerful Massachusetts Democrat, Senator Ed Markey. The state of Massachusetts effectively banned the discharge option, a decision Holtec is contesting. </p><p>"That Final Determination to Deny Application to Modify a Massachusetts Permit to Discharge Pollutants to Surface Waters was issued by the Massachusetts Department of Environmental Protection [<a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/MassDEP" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>MassDEP</span></a>] Division of Watershed Management on July 18, 2024. A month later, Holtec launched its appeal to reverse the decision, something that could take months or longer to find its way to court.</p><p>"In the meantime, help has come from a new quarter in the form of an in-depth study by the prestigious Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution [<a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/WHOI" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>WHOI</span></a>], also, as it happens, based on the Massachusetts shoreline, near Falmouth.</p><p>"The study — Model-Based Study of Near-Surface Transport in and around Cape Cod Bay, Its Seasonal Variability, and Response to Wind — found that contrary to Holtec’s claims, the wastewater would not immediately disperse into the ocean, but would linger potentially for months, and wash up on the shores of area communities.</p><p>“'We found virtually no out-of-the-Bay transport in winter and fall and slightly larger, but still low, probability of some of the plume exiting the Bay in spring and summer,' said Woods Hole study leader and physical oceanographer, Irina Rypina.</p><p>"The radioactively contaminated wastewater stored at Pilgrim is contaminated with what Holtec and the Massachusetts Department of Public Health have described as 'four gamma emitters — <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Manganese54" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Manganese54</span></a>, <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Cobalt60" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Cobalt60</span></a>, <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Zinc65" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Zinc65</span></a> and <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Cesium137" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Cesium137</span></a> along with <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Tritium" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Tritium</span></a>, a beta radiation emitter'. </p><p>"While the Woods Hole Study did not look at the health outcomes of releasing the radioactive water into Cape Cod Bay — only at the plume pathway — there are plenty of data that demonstrate the harmful effects of these <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/radioisotopes" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>radioisotopes</span></a> on human health, especially women and children.</p><p>"After acquiring the Pilgrim reactor, Holtec’s President and CEO, Kris Singh, assured surrounding communities that, <br>'the decommissioning of Pilgrim will replicate the superb record of public health and safety and environmental protection that typified the plant’s 47 years of operations.'</p><p>But since that acquisition, Markey observed, 'Holtec has fallen woefully short on this commitment.' He noted of the Woods Hole report that 'In light of these recent findings, I urge Holtec to develop a wastewater discharge plan that is informed and guided by scientific fact and community input.'</p><p>"Long-time <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/PilgrimWatch" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>PilgrimWatch</span></a> activist, <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/MaryLampert" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>MaryLampert</span></a>, welcomed the report’s initial findings and said that 'Holtec dumping Pilgrim’s radiological and chemically <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/contaminated" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>contaminated</span></a> wastewater into semi-enclosed CapeCod Bay is harmful to human health, the environment, and our marine economy.' </p><p>"In a handbook explaining Pilgrim’s decommissioning process on the Pilgrim Watch website, the authors note that 'Cape Cod Bay, <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/PlymouthBay" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>PlymouthBay</span></a>, <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/DuxburyBay" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>DuxburyBay</span></a>, and <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/KingstonBay" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>KingstonBay</span></a> are all protected <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/OceanSanctuaries" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>OceanSanctuaries</span></a>. Cape Cod Bay is a critical habitat for right whales and other endangered or special species. Dumping this <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/radioactive" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>radioactive</span></a> and chemically contaminated wastewater into them would cause incalculable economic damage and would harm both the environment and public health.'</p><p>"Absent a liquid discharge permit, Holtec’s preferred solution since has been to quietly evaporate the wastewater into the air. It has done this, as revealed during a Pilgrim Nuclear Decommissioning Citizen Advisory Panel meeting, by installing submerged electric heaters to increase the plant’s ambient temperature, ostensibly in order to improve worker comfort and expedite the drying of plant components.</p><p>"But, as Markey noted in an April 30, 2024 letter to Singh, the consequence of installing the heaters in that location 'is an increased rate of wastewater evaporation above the pace at which it occurs naturally.' That 1.1 million gallons is now down to 880,000 gallons remain, according to Holtec’s own reports.</p><p>"As Lampert points out, 'Meteorology studies show 60% of winds blow offshore,' which means at least some of that evaporated wastewater is going to fall into the bay anyway. </p><p>"Under Nuclear Regulatory Commission rules, Holtec has four disposal options: liquid discharge, evaporation, storage onsite, and shipping to a licensed facility. None of them are good solutions.</p><p>"In August, Holtec filed an appeal against the state’s ban on liquid radioactive discharges, in part claiming that the decision on whether or not to allow the discharge falls under federal not state jurisdiction.</p><p>"This, argue some opponents of Holtec’s discharge plans, is a stall and a distraction while it quietly gets on with the gradual evaporation of all the wastewater. </p><p>"'They’re using the appeal to buy themselves time,' Andrew Gottlieb, executive director of the Association to Preserve Cape Cod, told radio station WBUR.

DoomsdaysCW<p>The Lies Have It: <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/XcelEnergy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>XcelEnergy</span></a> Wins Operating Extension for Nation’s 5th Oldest Nuclear Reactor<br> <br>by John Laforge, January 10, 2025</p><p>"I.F. Stone famously said, 'All governments are run by liars and nothing they say should be believed.' The aphorism applies well to <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/NuclearReactor" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>NuclearReactor</span></a> operators, including Minneapolis-based Xcel Energy.</p><p>"The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (<a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/NRC" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>NRC</span></a>) has granted Xcel a second license extension for operating its 54-year-old <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/MonticelloReactor" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>MonticelloReactor</span></a> on the <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/MississippiRiver" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>MississippiRiver</span></a> in <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Minnesota" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Minnesota</span></a>. The decision will permit this GE jalopy, a <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Fukushima" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Fukushima</span></a> clone, to run until it’s 80 years old — a dangerous feat never been done in the history of nuclear power. The NRC received over 3,000 public comments mostly critical of the extension, but the the commission has rubber stamped 87 of 92 similar requests, so call the NRC Never Really Concerned.</p><p>"The NRC nod is based partly on the commission’s Final Environmental Impact Statement (<a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/EIS" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>EIS</span></a>) for the re-licensing, even though the document confirms that Xcel repeatedly made false statements about its massive 2022-‘23 leak of <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/radioactive" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>radioactive</span></a> cooling water. According to a March 16, 2023 Associated Press (AP) story, Xcel’s first public response to the major leak was, 'There’s no danger to the public.' Xcel then proceeded to understate by more than half the leak’s actual volume, only estimating it was 400,000 gallons.</p><p>"Xcel eventually acknowledged that volume of the leak, from an old corroded underground pipe, was 829,000 gallons, and that the <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/groundwater" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>groundwater</span></a> plume of reactor cooling water — some of which would later reach the Mississippi River — had a radioactive footprint of some fourteen curies of <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/tritium" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>tritium</span></a> — a very large amount. (For a reference, the 1979 partial reactor meltdown at Three Mile Island released an estimated 15 curies of gaseous radioactive iodine-131 to the Pennsylvania atmosphere. Other radioactive materials went into the Susquehanna River.)</p><p>"Xcel’s 829,000-gallon leak was always a direct threat to drinking water because — as the company’s own 2023 Annual Radioactive Effluent Release Report states on page 13 — 'It is assumed groundwater continuously flows to the river…' The Mississippi is the drinking water source for 20 million people, including <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Minneapolis" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Minneapolis</span></a>, <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/StPaul" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>StPaul</span></a> and their surrounding suburbs 37 miles downstream from the leaky reactor."</p><p>Read more:<br><a href="https://www.counterpunch.org/2025/01/10/the-lies-have-it-xcel-energy-wins-operating-extension-for-nations-5th-oldest-nuclear-reactor/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">counterpunch.org/2025/01/10/th</span><span class="invisible">e-lies-have-it-xcel-energy-wins-operating-extension-for-nations-5th-oldest-nuclear-reactor/</span></a><br><a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/RethinkNotRestart" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>RethinkNotRestart</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/NoNukes" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>NoNukes</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/NuclearPowerCorruptionAndLies" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>NuclearPowerCorruptionAndLies</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/WaterIsLife" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>WaterIsLife</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/MonticelloNuclearPlant" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>MonticelloNuclearPlant</span></a></p>
