Radioactive waste and Cape Cod Bay

from The Common · host WBUR

For the last year or so, the company in charge of cleaning up the shuttered Pilgrim Nuclear Power Station in Plymouth has been slowly moving ahead with its plans to discharge contaminated wastewater from the plant into Cape Cod Bay. But recently, opposition from area residents, activists and politicians has been heating up. WBUR Climate and Environment Correspondent Barbara Moran joins The Common to share some updates on the decommissioning process, and the state and public's attempt to find out what's really in that dirty water. Greater Boston’s weekly podcast where news and culture meet.
