Is The Company Poised To Dismantle Indian Point Too Radioactive?

As reported by WNYC.

For additional background information about Holtec International and SNC-Lavalin, see Beyond Nuclear's respective "skeletons in the closet" annotated bibliographies, provided at the hot links.

In addition to its bid to acquire the Indian Point NY nuclear power plant for decommissioning and irradiated nuclear fuel management purposes, Holtec (and its partner SNC-Lavalin) has already gotten U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission approval to take over the Oyster Creek NJ and Pilgrim MA atomic reactor sites for such purposes. As reported in WNYC's story, the latter scheme has been challenged in court by the MA Attorney General. Holtec and SNC-Lavalin are also eyeing takeovers of the Palisades MI and Big Rock Point MI atomic reactor sites.

Holtec has also applied to the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission for a license to construct and operate a consolidated interim storage facility for 173,600 metric tons of irradiated nuclear fuel in southeastern New Mexico. This would involve thousands of road, rail, and/or waterway shipments of high risk, high-level radioactive waste, through most states, over the course of decades.
