Jamaica zoning fight delays $12.5 million West River Village plans
Mirl Construction Co of New York appeals Jamaica selectmen ruling denying interim zoning permit for 550 acres along the West River. Affected are three objections to permit denial, a motion to rehear, and a request to suspend hearings over possible misconduct. The Act 250 hearing is held in abeyance as negotiations and potential litigation unfold, with local planners and town officials weighing mutual agreements versus continued dispute. The case's next steps hinge on April court actions and possible new public hearings, while Jamaica Planning Commission considers constructive proposals.

Vermont Yankee incident tests limits of radiation release
Vermont Yankee reactor at Vernon faced questions over radiation readings after an incident on February 17. State officials and plant representatives disputed exceeding the state instantaneous release limit of 220000 microcuries per second, noting peak releases at 148000 or 115000 microcuries per second. Automatic shutdown occurred during a full load reject test, reducing airflow and affecting readings. Air monitoring reportedly stayed within state and federal limits.
