What’s Left Behind When Nuclear Power Plants Close?

Pilgrim Nuclear is slated to close in the spring of 2019. What are the steps involved with decommissioning the plant, and what will be left behind once the plant closes? On The Point, we talk with editors and reporters at The Cape Cod Times about their upcoming series exploring the long and short-term impacts of closing nuclear power plants, and what we can learn from other communities who have gone through the process.

Guests on the program are: Christine Legere, reporter at The Cape Cod Times; Linda Corcoran, managing editor at The Cape Cod Times and editor of the series; and Jacqui Banaszynski, professor at the Missouri School of Journalism and the project coach of the series. Mindy Todd hosts.
