The House rejected a $100,000 preconstruction study for a Dickey Lincoln hydroelectric project limited to Maine, risking scuttling the New England plan despite Senate backing for broader planning funds. House opponents warn the restudy would spark multi million funding, while supporters argue the Maine only scope meets local needs.

Vermont Yankee plant to open if AEC adopts state standards
Gov. Deane C. Davis said Vermont seeks AEC adoption of state radiation standards for the Vernon yardage, tying a $15 million bond sale to licensing rules. The plan would have emissions at 10 percent of AEC limits, with safeguards to keep pollutants at the lowest practical levels. Davis warned licensing delays may follow Calvert Cliffs rulings, risking power shortages for Vermont this winter.
