As others have pointed out, the article contains almost no details about the waste. Here are the details directly from the government meeting: https://documents.dps.ny.gov/public/Common/ViewDoc.aspx?DocRefId={9432B456-505D-4E0A-A66B-2B50C5485B40} https://documents.dps.ny.gov/public/Common/ViewDoc.aspx?DocR... Full details of the meeting (including video and transcript): https://dps.ny.gov/event/indian-point-decommissioning-oversight-board-meeting-february-2023 https://dps.ny.gov/event/indian-point-decommissioning-oversi... Edit: I have no context as to know if the proposal is good or bad, environmentally or morally, but the slideshow is for public consumption so it's pretty readable (not that it'll give you that context).

I also don't know. I asked some people in field (awaiting responses). I see this quote on page 17 of the meeting notes: "The dose estimate assumes a uniform radioactive contamination concentration in these waters equal to 4.44E-2 uCi/ml" I'm curious what "assumes" means, has someone measured the tritium levels, or is it actually a blind assumption. Edit: Thanks for posting some content with details, the original article seems biased, but I am curious about the topic from better sources. Also I'm on a phone and having a difficult time typing properly today.
