Radioactive Leak Is Fixed at Vermont Plant

The New York Times March 25, 2010 By Matthew L Wald

There have been two holes found by technicians in an underground pipe that were allowing radioactive tritiuum to flow into the groundwater at the Vermont Yankee nuclear reactor, said the Entergy plant's owner. There was a leak that didn't contaminate any drinking water, but it ended up causing a political uproar in Vermont. There is a possibility that it can be reversed but sentiment in Vermont is running firmly against the plant because Entergy executives had assured state officials about the underground leaks.
This author did a great job finding out what Entergy has down and what technicians have found. They have unraveled a great deal of secrecy and they are bound to figure out the problem sooner or later.
