Fellow Story
Chase against extending Yankee reactor's life
On the evening of Wednesday, Nov. 7, more than 250 members of the public from Vermont, New Hampshire and Massachusetts packed the elementary school gym in Vernon, Vt., for the first of two public hearings held by Vermont’s three-member Public Service Board. The topic at hand was whether the board should grant the Entergy Corp. a certificate of public good that would legally authorize the company to run the Vermont Yankee nuclear reactor for 20 years past the original 40-year license period, which ended last March.
