As reported by Vermont Public Radio, the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) has submitted a request for additional information to Entergy Nuclear, seeking to determine if the company is financially qualified to run its Vermont Yankee atomic reactor safely, and to decommission it once it is permanently shutdown. The investigation comes after Entergy reported a two-thirds decrease in the sale price of VY to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), down from $517 million to $162 million.
