Vt. Yankee nuke plant seeks PSB OK to operate

By AP  | January 31, 2012

MONTPELIER, Vt. (AP) — The Vermont Yankee nuclear power plant is asking the state Public Service Board for permission to continue operating beyond its original March 21 closure date.

The move follows a Jan. 19 ruling by a Vermont federal court judge who found the state did not have the authority to close the plant as it had wished. But the decision said the plant needed to seek a certificate of public good from the utility-regulating Public Service Board.

Entergy Nuclear CEO J. Wayne Perry made the comments about the plans Tuesday during a telephone conference call with investors.

Perry says Entergy officials believe there is nothing standing in the way of a new certificate and the law allows the plant to continue operating while the case is decided.
