Report: Entergy Vermont Yankee Lacks "Questioning Attitude"
From Seven Days:
A key legislative oversight panel is criticizing Entergy Vermont Yankee's for lacking a "questioning attitude" that has led to a number of system failures at the aging reactor in recent years.
The Vermont Yankee Public Oversight Panel (POP) also concluded that Entergy didn't deliberately mislead a legislative panel or a state consultant when it neglected to inform them last August about underground pipes that carry radionuclides.
The three-member panel includes former Nuclear Regulatory Commission member Peter Bradford, nuclear engineer Arnie Gundersen, and retired nuclear scientist Fred Sears.
Last summer, Gundersen questioned key Entergy engineers about whether there were underground pipes that could potentially be leaking.
The response: No. Case closed.
