This week on the program Helen Calidcott talks about the ageing Vermont Yankee nuclear reactor with Crea Lintilhac, from the Lintilhac Foundation in Vermont. In 2005 the Lintilhac Foundation celebrated 30 years of charitable giving. Established in 1975 by Claire Lintilhac as the launching pad for a nurse-midwife program at Fletcher Allen Health Care in Burlington, the Foundation has grown to embrace a broad range of challenges and opportunities, today granting between $500,000 and $1 million a year to not-for-profit organizations working for the medical, educational, environmental, and social well-being of Vermont.
Crea Lintilhac holds a Masterâs Degree in Teaching in Geology from the University of Vermont, and she received an Honorary Doctor of Science degree from Middlebury College in 1998.
Crea also serves as an officer and trustee of several environmental advocacy boards in Vermont.
