    Pilgrim nuclear plant owner contemplates federal lawsuit over radioactive water discharge (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    The owner of the closed Pilgrim nuclear power plant in Plymouth says it may go to federal court to fight for authorization to release radioactive water into Cape Cod Bay as part of the plant decommissioning. Suing in federal court, rather than in Massachusetts Superior Court as some observers had expected, would change the nature of the argument, because state and federal regulators have authority over different aspects of the nuclear plant.

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

Demolition is on the front burner because of break-ins at the empty homes, said Luisa Paiewonsky, head of the Cape Cod bridges project for DOT. “We did notice that there was some squatting going on, and some break-ins, and we were concerned about the neighbors who are remaining in the neighborhood whose homes were not taken,” she said. “S
