MONTPELIER, Vt. The chairman of the Public Service Board is removing himself from a case involving plans by the Vermont Yankee nuclear power plant to build a radioactive waste storage facility.
Chairman James Volz recused himself from the case yesterday after the nuclear watchdog group New England Coalition raised questions about whether Volz had an open mind on the issue.
Volz, who was appointed chairman of the quasi-judicial board earlier this year, was formerly the chief of the advocacy office for the Department of Public Service.
The department has supported letting Vermont Yankee's owner Entergy nuclear, build the high-level waste storage facility.
