In the process of decommissioning the Plymouth Pilgrim Nuclear Power Plant, Holtec International, the decommissioning company, must dispose of 1.1 million gallons of water containing radionuclides and other contaminants. This nuclear waste is harmful to human health and the environment. This health threat extends hundreds of miles around Plymouth and could last thousands of years.

For the past two years, Holtec has sought to dispose of this radioactive water by dumping it into Cape Cod Bay. Grassroots groups and elected officials banded together to stop Holtec from this discharge.

Now, Holtec is force evaporating this radioactive water into the public air. Holtec installed industrial grade water heaters to heat the contaminated water forcing accelerated evaporation. The Plymouth Board of Health has stated that this is a threat to human health.

We must permanently stop Holtec from this forced evaporation of radioactive water now or in the future. Holtec is bound to comply with the MA Clean Air Act. We need the Governor of Massachusetts to investigate violations of this Act by Holtec and stop them from these emissions.

Please join us in asking the Governor to immediately investigate this matter and stop Holtec from contaminating our air and jeopardizing our health.
