Vermont to contest AEC Vernon licensing appeal
Vermont environmental officials plan to challenge the AEC Appeals Board decision to reopen part of the licensing for the Vermont Yankee Nuclear Power Corp. plant at Vernon. John Ponsetto said Vermont will join New Hampshire in hearings later this month, with Massachusetts also showing interest.
