The Associated Press just reported:
Vermont Gov. Peter Shumlin says he supports the peaceful protesters who gathered at the headquarters of the Vermont Yankee plant to express their frustration that the aging reactor remains open.
Thursday marked the first day of the plant’s operation after its initial 40-year operating license expired a day earlier.
The Nuclear Regulatory Commission has issued the plant a 20-year license extension, but the state of Vermont wants the plant to close.
More than 800 protesters marched to the plant’s Brattleboro headquarters on Thursday. Dozens were arrested for trespassing. Several others were arrested at the New Orleans headquarters of the plant’s owner, Entergy Corp. And The Journal News says five protesters were arrested at Entergy offices in White Plains, N.Y.
