2013 – Michael A. Whitney graduated from UMaine in Engineering Physics in 1980, and shortly thereafter was working at Consolidated Edison’s Indian Point Nuclear Power Plant in New York, as a Licensing Engineer (and at West Point Military Academy, as a volunteer minister). In 1996, he returned to Maine, employed at the Maine Yankee Atomic Power Company nuclear plant in Wiscasset. There, as a Senior Licensing Engineer, he managed licensing of the facility with the Nuclear Regulatory Commission and the State of Maine, eventually to lead a team of engineers in developing the License Termination Plan for the decommissioning of the nuclear plant in 2005.
