The Atomic Energy Commission is likely to adopt Vermont's demand that radioactive discharges from the Vermont Yankee plant be kept to the lowest practicable level. Spokesman Frank Ingram said Vermont may require stricter limits, possibly down to one hundredth of federal allowances, contingent on Vermont Yankee agreeing to the rules. The plant near Vernon, Vermont, is about 90 percent complete and targets completion ahead of October.
