Pilgrim Nuclear Can Continue Construction On New Waste Site
ResumeOfficials in Plymouth are allowing the Pilgrim Nuclear Power Plant to continue work on a new nuclear waste storage facility.
The town's zoning board of appeals voted 3-2 Wednesday night to reject an appeal from residents who wanted Pilgrim to apply for a special permit for the facility, which would store nuclear waste in dry casks, as opposed to the current wet-pool storage system.
Frank Mand, of the Old Colony Memorial newspaper, was at the hearing and joined WBUR's Morning Edition to discuss the decision.
