Learn the status of the operation of the Salem Harbor Station in relation regulatory agencies' requirements:
 1. ISO-NE, the system operator for the New England power grid, has recently determined that no more than two of the four units at the facility are still needed for reliability - and some key stakeholders are questioning whether even those two units are needed.
2. The two decade-old permit required for the plant's water cooling system is long overdue for renewal, and any new permit should require the plant to retrofit with cooling towers to minimize environmental impacts and meet the stringent demands of the Clean Water Act.
3. The Deparatment of Public Health has cited the plant for unsafe procedures leading to the death of three workers.
