AEC backs licensing of Yankee power plant in Vermont

The Atomic Energy Commission staff recommends licensing the 40,000 kilowatt Vermont Yankee plant, with environmental restrictions. It calls for controlled cooling water discharges, a floatable 10 acre mixing zone near Vernon Pond, and a mobile 50 acre study area in the first year. The report notes minimal health risk from emissions, potential noise concerns, and confirms the project would add about 4.6 billion kilowatt hours annually while boosting local jobs and taxes. The late Gov. Jonathan Hunt house will become a public museum onsite. Vermont Yankee seeks full operation amid prior idle status.
