  Sunny mornings send you. In local news, the Massachusetts
• 2:53
  Department of Environmental Protection has decided
• 2:56
  that radioactive wastewater from the Pilgrim
• 2:59
  Nuclear Power Station in Plymouth will not be
• 3:02
  discharged into Cape Cod Bay. This decision,
• 3:05
  announced on Tuesday, comes after a two -year
• 3:08
  review and is seen as a good outcome for the
• 3:10
  region, according to Andrew Gottlieb, executive
• 3:13
  director of the Association to Preserve Cape
• 3:16
  Cod. Holtec, the company responsible for cleanup,
• 3:20
  had requested a permit for discharging up to
• 3:23
  1 .1 million gallons of treated wastewater, claiming
• 3:27
  it was the most environmentally friendly option.
• 3:30
  However, the agency classified the water as industrial
• 3:33
  wastewater, which is prohibited under the Massachusetts
• 3:37
  Ocean Sanctuaries Act. Holtec may appeal the
• 3:40
  decision while local residents remain concerned
• 3:43
  about the ongoing evaporation of wastewater.
• 3:46
  which releases small amounts of radioactive tritium.
• 3:55

• 6:18
  part two of our three -part series, we're looking
• 6:20
  at what's creating the Kelvin wave heading towards
• 6:23
  Southern California, and why what's happening
• 6:26
  in the Pacific this year is so unusual. The story
• 6:30
  starts thousands of miles away in the tropical
• 6:33
  Pacific. During El Nino, enormous amounts of
• 6:37
  warm water shift eastward across the equatorial
• 6:40
  Pacific. When that movement reaches the Americas,
• 6:44
  some of its energy travels north, along the coastline
• 6:47
  as what's called a coastally -trapped Kelvin
• 6:49
  wave. And Southern California's ocean was already
• 6:53
  unusually warm before this wave arrived. At Scripps
• 6:58
  Pier in San Diego, researchers had recorded 42
• 7:01
  daily, record -high water temperatures by mid
• 7:04
  -August. Now a powerful El Nino is developing
• 7:08
  on top of those conditions. The National Oceanic
• 7:12
  and Atmospheric Administration says there's a
• 7:15
  greater than 90 % chance this becomes a very
• 7:18
  strong El Nino this fall and winter, and currently
• 7:22
  gives it a 75 % chance of reaching historic strength.
• 7:28
  Calvin waves can also push colder water deeper
• 7:30
  below the surface. suppressing the normal upwelling
• 7:33
  that helps cool Southern California's coastline.
• 7:37
  And this may not be the only Kelvin wave we see
• 7:40
  during this El Nino. Tomorrow, we'll put everything
• 7:44
  together and explain what these conditions could
• 7:47
  mean for Southern California's beaches this fall
• 7:50
  and winter. In business news, Walmart Incorporated
• 7:56
  is expanding its restaurant delivery business
• 7:58
  through a partnership with Papa John's. allowing
• 8:01
  customers in select U .S. markets to order pizzas
• 8:04
  and desserts through Walmart's app and website.
• 8:08
  The service is expected to launch this fall,
• 8:11
  expanding to thousands of participating locations
• 8:13
  nationwide. This move fills on Walmart's broader
• 8:17
  push into fast delivery, with U .S. e -commerce
• 8:20
  sales increasing 24 % last quarter. The partnership
• 8:24
  could drive higher customer engagement, as it
• 8:27
  allows shoppers to combine pizza orders with
• 8:29
  groceries. However, concerns remain about the
• 8:33
  complexity and low margins of restaurant delivery.
• 8:37

• 8:42
  ,000. Ethereum is down 4 % to about $2 ,000.

• 9:52
  Roman Space Telescope is on a precise trajectory,
• 9:56

  planned. Originally, designers aimed for a minimum
• 10:03
  lifetime of five years with a possible five -year

  extension. Thanks to meticulous planning and
• 10:09
  execution, Roman now has fuel for at least 22
• 10:13
  years of operations, according to Jamie Dunn.
