The Nuclear Regulatory Commission is postponing indefinitely a decision on the appeal by a group opposed to the relicensing of Vermont Yankee nuclear power plant. The New England Coalition on Nuclear Pollution asked the NRC to review a July decision by the Atomic Safety and Licensing Board approving testing methods that plant owner Entergy uses to check metal fatigue at the Vernon plant.
Entergy has applied to the NRC to extend the plant's operating license for another 20 years, from 2012 to 2032.
