Vt yankee leak

Entergy Nuclear officials say power has been reduced at Vermont Yankee while technicians try to find a leak and stop river water from coming into the plant's cooling system. Yesterday, the plant's power output was reduced to 26 percent. Last year, a report commissioned by the state found that the plant was putting off needed fixes to its condensers until it gets a decision on whether it will be allowed to operate past 2012.
