Pilgrim ownership will determine path of nuclear plant’s future
Removing 580 radioactive spent fuel assemblies from the Pilgrim Nuclear Power Station reactor vessel and transferring them to the adjacent spent fuel pool will begin Tuesday. PLYMOUTH – The decommissioning of Pilgrim Nuclear Power Station could stretch to 60 years if current owner, Entergy Nuclear Generation Co., handles the job, or it could be completed in only eight years if Holtec International succeeds in purchasing the plant.
