Beyond Nuclear was honored and privileged to join with 95 other organizations to protest NRC's rubber-stamp of a highly controversial license transfer from Entergy Nuclear, to the scandal-ridden Holtec International, for decommissioning purposes at Pilgrim atomic reactor in Plymouth, MA. An NRC decommissioning community advisory board public comment meeting has already been held at Pilgrim.
