Check out the @ANS_org 's article on this: ans.org/news/2026-09-17/arti…
The treated water Massachusetts won't let Holtec discharge: ~800,000 gallons containing less than 12 curies of tritium—about as much as a self illuminating tritium exit sign (~11.5 Ci).
Math: 12 Ci in 790,000 gallons = ~148,000 Bq/L. Using the ICRP 72 adult ingestion-dose coefficient (1.8×10⁻¹¹ Sv/Bq), that's 0.0027 mSv/L. A single-view chest X-ray is ~0.02 mSv, equivalent to drinking about 2 gallons of this water undiluted.
The ban is pure theater. It needlessly makes nuclear more expensive and slows the transition to a cleaner electricity grid. A federal judge struck down New York's similar ban in 2025 as preempted by federal law, though New York appealed. Massachusetts relies on a different law, so we'll see how that plays out. Meanwhile, the lawyers will keep cashing the checks!

More nuclear energy is coming to PJM. Our agreement with @Google will add 890 MW of reliable, emissions-free capacity – equivalent to a new reactor – backed by $4.3B+ in private investment. Deal will also sustain and create thousands of jobs. More info ↙️

Adding nuclear back on the menu just makes sense. 🍝⚛️
As Europe moves toward decarbonization, lifting nuclear bans is the key to maintaining grid stability and meeting climate goals.
Nuclear plant workers are the most credible voices in their communities when they have the tools to tell their stories.
Join @EricGMeyer, Executive Director of Generation Atomic, for a look inside Fission Forward, a program training nuclear employees to translate technical knowledge into community trust using the ALARA conversation framework.
