Federal Appeals Court to Hear Oral Arguments on Vermont Yankee

Posted: Updated:
MONTPELIER, Vt. -

Lawyers involved in the fight over the future of Vermont Yankee will be busy in the coming weeks.

In an appeal of a Vermont federal judge's order last January, a federal appeals court set January 14 as the date for oral arguments.

That order says the state could not force Vermont Yankee to shut down.

Two days later, the Vermont Supreme Court will hear a claim by the anti-nuclear group New England Coalition.

That group says by continuing to operate, the plant past its initial license expiration date is a violation of the state permit.
