Description
Description | Holtec, a Florida-based company, is decommissioning the former Pilgrim Nuclear Power Station in Plymouth. The company sought permission in 2023 to release up to 1.1 million gallons of wastewater stored at the plant site into Cape Cod Bay. The state Department of Environmental Protection denied the permit citing the state's ocean sanctuaries law. Holtec filed an administrative appeal but lost the appeal in 2025. The wastewater contains radioactive and non-radioactive contaminants, and Holtec proposed treating the water to meet quality standards before discharge. The company plans to continue fighting the decision in court. |
