Granite Geek: Vermont Yankee nuclear plant faces fans and foes

  • Adam · 2 years ago
    If memory serves, isn't Vermont Yankee the sister plant to Rowe (Mass.) Yankee? Rowe was, I think, the first US commercial nuclear plant to be de-commissioned. The process started several years ago. It may not yet be done.

    According to the web site (http://www.yankeerowe.com/) "structural decommissioning" is complete at Yankee Rowe, but it doesn't say if there are further decommissioning steps beyond that. And I can't quite figure out its connection to the other "Yankee" plants (Maine, Vermont) Rowe was, however, the third nuclear plant opened in the U.S.!
