Troubled Waters

The company Holtec International wants to dump one million gallons of radioactive wastewater into Cape Cod Bay. It sounds bad, and it might be, but there's a lot we still don't know. In this week's episode of the Upper Cape Catch, host and producer Gilda Geist talks to advocates, experts, and more to make sense of the laws and the science behind all the controversy surrounding this potential wastewater discharge. Special thanks to PACTV for letting us use their audio from the November 28 NDCAP meeting. You can watch the video on PACTV here. Read Alex Megerle's coverage of the meeting here.
