“Vermont Yankee Decommissioning: Unanswered Questions”
The next “Brattleboro Citizens’ Breakfast” is planned for Friday, September 19, 2014 at the Gibson Aiken Center, downstairs, hosted by Senior Meals. Doors open at 7:30am.
Clay Turnbull from the New England Coalition on Nuclear Pollution (based in Brattleboro) will be discussing some of the issues currently in play at Vermont Yankee. “We are actually a long way from decommissioning the plant. What should happen with VY’s high-level nuclear waste presently stored in an elevated, water-filled pool? Entergy does not yet have approval to build a second dry cask storage facility. The site is going to be decommissioned, the question is — to what standards?”
- Because we need to plan for the number of people having breakfast, please RSVP by no later than Tuesday, September 16 by replying to <Robt.Oeser@gmail.com> – (or calling 518-505-9031)
