The Nuclear Regulatory Commission’s decision to proceed with hearings on a 20-year license extension for Entergy Corp.’s Pilgrim nuclear power plant was appealed by Massachusetts Attorney General Martha Coakley.
Coakley’s appeal, filed in the U.S. Appeals Court in Boston, challenged the commission’s decision to go ahead before considering lessons from the Fukushima nuclear disaster in Japan, according to a statement from her office today.
