A Vermont Yankee decommissioning forum will be held on Wednesday, Dec. 8, from 7-9 p.m., at the downtown campus of Greenfield Community College, 270 Main St.
A four-person panel will discuss what will happen if Vermont Yankee stops operating in March 2012, what might happen before that date, and what local residents, elected officials, and town and regional bodies can do to make sure Vermont Yankee is properly dismantled and cleaned-up, with the radioactive waste safely stored.
The panelists will be Deb Katz, executive director of the Citizens Awareness Network; Rosemary Bassilakis, technical advisor for the Connecticut Citizens Awareness Network; Robert Stannard, lobbyist for the Vermont Citizens Action Network; and Dr. Marvin Resnicoff, nuclear physicist and international consultant on radioactive waste issues, Radioactive Waste Management Associates.
A period of open discussion will follow the panel presentation.
This event is co-sponsored by the Safe & Green Campaign and Nuclear Free Vermont by 2012. Refreshments will be served. For more information, contact Deb Katz at 413-339-5781.
