Troubles At Yankee Affecting Industry Elsewhere
From Vermont Public Radio:
(Host) The troubles at Vermont Yankee are beginning to affect the nuclear power industry elsewhere in the country.
Today, New York regulators raised concerns about Entergy's record in Vermont.
As VPR's John Dillon reports, the questions came as New York considered Entergy's plan to spin off some of its reactors into a new company.
(Dillon) Entergy faces a criminal investigation for misleading regulators about leaking underground pipes at Vermont Yankee.
The Vermont investigation came up during a hearing in Albany. Entergy owns three nuclear plants in New York that it wants to spin off - along with Vermont Yankee - into a new corporation.
New York utility commissioner Robert Curry said the company's record in Vermont raises a warning flag.
