Vermont Eyes Tighter Radiological Controls at Vernon Plant
Vermont moves to tighten radiation controls at Vermont Yankee Nuclear Power Corp by urging the Public Service Board to order immediate installation of equipment to cut radioactive discharges. Attorney General James Jeffords backs preserving board jurisdiction for possible further limits while conservationists push for stopping emissions until safety is assured. The plan includes testing new designs, setting discharge caps at 10 percent of AEC levels, and financing steps for the plant’s operation and pollution controls.
