ROWE — Yankee Rowe hasn’t generated power in 33 years, but Eversource is still warning investors that 127 tons of spent fuel and radioactive waste entombed within 16 concrete casks at the site along the Deerfield River are a threat to its bottom line.
And a threat to the environment, according to a local activist. She places the blame squarely at the feet of the federal government, which broke its promise to provide a secure, permanent home for spent nuclear waste from the nation’s power plants.
