WISCASSET – Maine Yankee is terminating its agreement with a contractor responsible for the shuttered nuclear power plant’s radiological protection program.

Maine Yankee cited “inconsistent management practices” unrelated to safety issues as the factor behind its decision to dismiss Radiological Services Inc. The contract ends March 31.

“The problems with RSI had to do with the way they managed their people, a human resources problem,” spokesman Eric Howes said. “Their management practices were inconsistent, and the effects of that were becoming too distracting to everyone else on site.”

RSI, which is based in New London, Conn., was responsible for overseeing the disposal of waste from the site.

About 85 RSI employees work at Maine Yankee. They will be allowed to reapply for their jobs.

Managers will become Maine Yankee employees, Howes said.
