The defunct Vermont Yankee nuclear plant is one step closer to being dismantled.
AREVA Nuclear Materials, the Washington, D.C.-based company specializing in decommissioning nuclear reactors, signed a contract on July 11 with NorthStar Group Services to help decommission the plant. NorthStar is a New York City-based industrial demolition firm poised to buy and manage the decommissioning and site restoration of the plant.
