Subject: VYNPS Update

Good afternoon.

I am writing to provide an update on the Health Department’s activities related to the investigation of tritium detected in monitoring wells at the Vermont Yankee Nuclear Power Station. A current situation update appears at the bottom of this e-mail.

As I noted last week, we have established a “tritium page” within the VYNPS portion of the VDH website, and beginning today we are increasing the frequency of situation updates. Here are the links (the first is to the existing VYNPS page and the second is to the tritium page itself).

You will also now see a link on the VDH home page (www.healthvermont.gov) to the “Tritium Investigation” web page.

Please do not hesitate to contact me if you have additional questions or concerns. Thank you.

Wendy
