Study to measure radiation levels around Pilgrim site February 8, 2026

The new study, believed to be the first of its kind conducted near a decommissioned nuclear plant, is funded by a $700,000 federal grant to fund the first year of the study awarded to Greater Boston Physicians for Social Responsibility, an advocacy group of doctors concerned about nuclear contamination.
“This is the first study that’s been done after reactors have been decommissioned that we know of,” said Anna Linakis, the group’s executive director.
Linakis said her group is still awaiting the contract from the federal government, and Koutrakis anticipates preliminary results after a year but predicts more complete results will take longer.
