But recently released state data detailing the high levels of radiation in the untreated wastewater has some worried that the wastewater, even once treated, may still pose threats. WBUR Climate and Environment Correspondent Barbara Moran joins The Common to walk us through the new findings, which have locals, politicians and members of the fishing industry concerned.
