An Entergy report on plans for the decommissioning of Vermont Yankee is open for public comment through the Nuclear Regulatory Commission.
The Vernon nuclear site powered down for good on Dec. 29.
Entergy filed the Post Shutdown Decommissioning Activities Report on Dec. 19. The report pegs the total decommissioning cost at $1.24 billion, which includes funds for managing spent fuel and restoring the plant site.
The full text of the report is available through the NRC website.
The NRC will host a public meeting on the report from 6-9pm on February 19 at the Quality Inn in Brattleboro.
In the meantime, the public can submit comments online through www.regulations.gov using Docket No. 50-271, or by mail to Cindy Bladey, Office of Administration, Mail Stop: 3WFN-06-A44M, U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission, Washington, D.C., 20555.
