Leaking and lying – time for Vermont Nuclear Plant to close

Nuclear Power Plant Leaking AGAIN AGAIN – IndyPosted,  by Maggie Romuld   May 31, 2010 The Vermont Yankee nuclear power plant could close in March 2012 when its current license expires. While that might not be good news for some, it seems fair for a plant that has been plagued with problems for years, and leaked once again over the weekend. And, perhaps more importantly, when you consider that radioactive tritium was found in an underground pipe and plant officials “acknowledged they had misled state regulators and lawmakers regarding whether the plant had underground pipes that carried radioactive substances.”

  1. The only bad news about this plant closing is we must begin to develop alternate renewable sources now. We cannot afford to wait any longer. This plant needs to close. I feel it’s on the cliff of disaster. Can we, as an independent group of Vermonters, allow that to happen? Do we want to be placed on the same map as those of three mile island or Chernobyl? It can happen, and it will eventually. This is my lifetime home state, I was born here. I love Vermont, let’s not let this happen!

    Thank you…
