Vermont’s Nuclear Watchdog Has Gone Quiet
The panel met only once this year as officials weigh a lease for the contaminated site and possible future uses, including a small modular reactor.
- The Nuclear Decommissioning Citizens Advisory Panel has met only once this year with no further meetings scheduled, leaving critical questions about the Vermont Yankee site unanswered.
- NorthStar, owner of the decommissioned Vermont Yankee plant, leased the Vernon site to Texas-based PowerTransitions, which contains 60 concrete-and-steel casks of radioactive waste and chemical contamination.
- PowerTransitions is considering options including a small modular nuclear reactor or data center, yet the NDCAP performs no community outreach to inform residents of potential developments.
- Gov. Phil Scott is promoting legislation to define nuclear power as clean energy while vetoing measures that would place guardrails on data center development in the region.
- Ann Darling of the Citizens Awareness Network warns that officials may be hiding plans for the Vernon site, arguing the public deserves answers on lease contents and waste ownership before decisions are finalized.
