RSSDocuments Show Entergy Knew Of Underground Pipes
Tuesday, 01/26/10 6:06am
Documents show that the Vermont Yankee nuclear plant's operators knew there were underground pipes at the plant--pipes officials later said didn't exist.
A sworn affidavit from Vermont Yankee chief engineer Norm Rademacher refers to a report from November of 2007 on the plant's buried piping and tank inspection program. Rademacher says what was looked at then matches what was later asked about - whether there were pipes under the plant that could carry radioactive tritium.
Vermont Yankee is currently investigating a recent leak of tritium at the plant.
A big issue in the recent debate over the plant has been whether Vermont Yankee intentionally misled state officials about the pipes.
