Entergy Nuclear withdraws license amendment request

 WT,  By – Associated Press – Thursday, September 24, 2015 BRATTLEBORO, Vt. (AP) – The company that owns the Vermont Yankee nuclear power plant has dropped its fight against the state’s 30-day written notice requirement.

Entergy Nuclear said Wednesday it is withdrawing its license amendment request to the Nuclear Regulatory Commission to eliminate a requirement that it notify the state when it plans to make withdrawals from the Vermont Yankee decommissioning trust fund…..

The Shumlin administration says the advance notice is necessary for a meaningful review of trust fund spending.

Officials say the state may ask for hearings each time Entergy asks for money from the fund. http://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2015/sep/24/entergy-nuclear-withdraws-license-amendment-reques/
