I didn&#...I am thoroughly DELIGHTED to be wrong! <br /><br />I didn't think Entergy would give up the fight for VY, but I thought they might hedge their bets. A long outage later (after the trial, waiting for fuel) seemed less expensive than a fuel order now. I am SO glad they are going ahead with the refueling!Meredith Angwinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02737538041807740424noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3033288879708780106.post-65713040295181751172011-07-25T12:07:46.271-04:002011-07-25T12:07:46.271-04:00This is the only time I was glad you were wrong Me...This is the only time I was glad you were wrong Meredith:<br /><br />"Entergy to Refuel Vermont Yankee <br />07/25/2011<br /> <br />Entergy’s board of directors has voted to approve the fabrication of fuel and the refueling of Vermont Yankee in October, as originally scheduled. This will be the plant’s 29th refueling. The company is making the announcement to the general public this morning.<br /> <br />While the company has received a 20-year license extension from the Nuclear Regulatory Commission, the state of Vermont has refused to grant a certificate of public good to continue operating beyond March 21, 2012. That issue is currently being litigated before the U.S. District Court for the state of Vermont.<br /><br />“Entergy’s board of directors carefully reviewed the merits of our case and the arguments put forth by all parties during the recent hearing in District Court when we requested a preliminary injunction against the state of Vermont taking any actions to Vermont Yankee,” said Wayne Leonard. “The board believes both the merits of the company’s legal position and the record strongly support its decision to continue to trial scheduled to begin on Sept. 12. On that basis, the decision was made to move forward with the refueling as planned.”<br /> <br />“All-Hands” meetings are scheduled for Vermont Yankee employees on Tuesday at 6:30 and 8:30 a.m. at the Governor Hunt House just outside the plant gates with Mike Colomb and other senior company officials."Atomikrabbithttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02378221046939835905noreply@blogger.com
