Hi Stephen,

A great series of articles! I wish people would write such articles for every nuclear plant that closes down. I had a blog that followed Vermont Yankee.

FWIW, Indian Point didn't have cooling towers. It used once-through cooling i the Hudson River. Of course, it got attacked for that, also! Here's one of my blog posts which includes Indian Point. An old post, and the links are dead. https://yesvy.blogspot.com/2016/07/much-about-politics-but-little-about.html

The tall domes at Indian Point were the containment structures. They had to include the tall steam generators.

Let’s do a piece on Yankee together. It is a good time do electricity history for those trying to its future.

Stephen, thank you for the suggestion! I am in the middle of a transition (George and I are moving closer to the kids) and I can't do much writing.

I suggest you go to Yes Vermont Yankee blog and put "lawsuits" or "economics" or "tritium" or..whatever...in the search box. You will be able to write an excellent article from that information!

Among other things, I found a cute post that I had pretty much forgotten. July 4, 2011. https://yesvy.blogspot.com/2011/07/vermont-attorney-general-will-soon.html

I will read and make suggestions, if you want. But although I encourage you to look at my older posts, the new one will still be YOUR post. I don't have much time for anything more.
