Watchdog groups to hold forum on safety of nuclear waste

HINGHAM — Several nuclear watchdog groups will host an event titled “The Road From Pilgrim to New Mexico” from 3 to 6 p.m. Saturday at Glastonbury Abbey, 16 Hull St., Hingham.
The event is free and will feature a touring mock nuclear waste cask, as speakers focus on the dangers posed by nuclear waste, whether it is stored on-site or shipped across the country to some other storage location.
Pilgrim Nuclear Power Station in Plymouth currently has 3,000 radioactive spent fuel assemblies stored in a pool in the reactor building along with another 1,000 stored on-site in dry casks. There is currently no plan for a permanent national storage site for the country’s 80,000 tons of nuclear waste. Two interim storage sites, in Texas and New Mexico, are under review by the Nuclear Regulatory Commission.
Saturday’s panelists include Diane Turco, executive director of Cape Downwinders; Karen Hadden, executive director of Sustainable Energy & Economic Development Coalition in Texas; Diane D’Arrigo, radioactive waste project director for the National Information and Resource Service in Washington, D.C.; Amy Shollenberger, Action Circles Consulting in Vermont; and Deb Katz, executive director of Citizens Awareness Network.
