A Breaking News Podcast:
Vermont Yankee Closing! Also some other stuff going on at Fukushima that is currently going on (all bad) closer to the end of the podcast.
Entergy just announced that they are shutting down Vermont Yankee Nuclear Generating Station in Vernon, Vermont. We’ve been saying that Yankee would probably be shut down in 2014 to avoid the expensive modifications that they would have had to comply with as a result of the Fukushima Daiichi triple meltdowns in 2011, as the Yankee reactors were of the same unsafe design. There are 22 other reactors in the US identical to Fukushima, all of which face these costly modifications. We recorded a special podcast today with Arnie and Nat to respond to the news. Listen In
