Plaintiffs Entergy Vermont Yankee, LLC (ENVY) and Entergy Nuclear Operations, Inc. (ENOI) respectfully submit this memorandum of law in support of their motion for a preliminary injunction to preserve the status quo pending the conclusion of this litigation and to prohibit Defendants from forcing cessation of operations at the Vermont Yankee Nuclear Power Station.
This case involves a challenge to Vermont's attempted usurpation of federal authority over continued operation of the Vermont Yankee Station, which is operated by plaintiff ENOI and owned by plaintiff ENVY.
The federal Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC), which has exclusive authority over nuclear power plant operation and safety, recently granted the Vermont Yankee Station a renewed license to operate through March 21, 2032.
But the State of Vermont claims veto power over that federal judgment, thus turning the Supremacy Clause of the U.S. Constitution on its head.
