 Vermont Yankee Nuclear Power Station (VYNPS) ceased power operations on December 29, 2014 after 633 days of continuous power operation – a record for the VY site.  On January 12, 2015, all nuclear fuel was removed from the reactor and placed in the Spent Fuel Pool (SFP).  On January 12, 2015, VYNPS certified to the NRC that the reactor had permanently ceased operations and was permanently defueled.  VYNPS continues to be overseen by the Nuclear Regulatory Commission’s (NRC) as part of its Decommissioning Inspection Program.  The focus of VYNPS and its employees continues to be our ongoing commitment to safety. 2

Thirteen (13) Dry Fuel Storage Casks are safely loaded and stored on the first of two (2) Independent Spent Fuel Storage Installation (ISFSI) pads. Application for a second ISFSI pad was submitted on June 30, 2014 to the Vermont Public Service Board (PSB) seeking a Certificate of Public Good (CPG). Approval expected in May 2016 An additional forty-five (45) Dry Fuel Storage Casks for a total of fifty-eight (58) will be loaded and stored on the two pads. Current plan is to transfer all spent fuel to Dry Cask Storage by
