Health Board Sets Stricter Radiation Rules for Vernon Plant
Vermont Health Board orders radiological emissions for the Vernon plant to remain at or below 10 percent of AEC limits, aiming for 20 millirems annually when feasible and never over 50 millirems. The rules grant Industrial Hygiene access to records and give board inspectors broad oversight, with Vermont Yankee unlikely to appeal. The agreement with conservation groups and a financing approval helped avoid a Supreme Court challenge and potential delays.
