Vermont Senate to Vote on Fate of Yankee Nuclear Plant
February 24, 2010 /EIN PRESSWIRE/ The Vermont Yankee nuclear power plant, which has found itself at the center of a chemical leak controversy, will have its fate decided by the Vermont state senate today.
In a last-ditch effort to influence lawmakers, Curt Hebert Jr., vice-president of Entergy Corp., which owns the plant, offered to sell cheap electricity to Vermont for three years if the reactor's license is renewed. The renewal period is for 20 years.
The Vermont Yankee plant has been caught in a firestorm of late after the Nuclear Regulatory Commission revealed the plant had a leak in 2005 and that the incident may have been covered up. On Jan. 7, Entergy disclosed that tritium had leaked from the plant, and although health officials said the leak poses no threat, protesters are raising their concerns about the plant and Entergy.
