This is from the Public Service Board website.

“Public Hearings Scheduled:  

Docket 7530 In Re Petition of Entergy Nuclear Vermont Yankee, LLC, to locate a new perimeter fence is scheduled for July 13, 2009, at 7:00 P.M., at the Vernon Elementary School Cafeteria, 381 Governor Hunt Road in Vernon.”

Entergy Nuclear wants to move the fence farther away from their leaking reactor because they can’t comply with radiation limits.

I say, sure, let ENVY move the fence. Move it to the other side of the Vernon Elementary School  — the school’s too close to the reactor. Shut down Vernon School and have Entergy build a new school where it’s safe. The radiation exposure limits are not set to protect growing children. The limits are based on damage to healthy adult men, not on the effects to more vulnerable people.

And if everything is so hunky-dorey at Entergy, why haven’t the radiation calculations from last year been released yet?

Still massaging the data at the Dept of Health?

Or did Gov. Douglas lay off too many people?
