A longtime activist says radioactive water inside the Pilgrim Nuclear Power Station probably can’t be filtered enough for legal discharge into Cape Cod Bay.
“No filter is perfect,” said James Lampert of Pilgrim Watch. “They will significantly reduce the level of pollutants, the level of minerals, but they will not get rid of them all.”
Pilgrim owner Holtec is looking for a way to dispose of about a million gallons of water as part of the decommissioning of the power plant. The water contains both nuclear and non-nuclear pollutants.
