BRATTLEBORO -- Groundwater remediation at Vermont Yankee nuclear power plant wrapped up on Nov. 18, according to the Vermont Department of Health's website.
The water, contaminated by tritium, is being shipped to a treatment facility in Tennessee.
Also on Nov. 18, the Nuclear Regulatory Commission held a non-public exit meeting for its groundwater contamination inspection
"At this point, however, the inspection results remain preliminary and therefore we would not provide details," said Neil Sheehan, spokesman for the NRC. "The inspection report is due out within 45 days. That report will contain our formal findings for the inspection." http://www.reformer.com/localnews/ci_16697538
