A leak in one of Vermont Yankee's cooling towers has state officials and legislators concerned that the owner of the nuclear power plant in Vernon is not doing all that it promised to insure the plant operates safely.
Both cooling towers at Vermont Yankee nuclear power plant in Vernon were pulled out of service Friday morning after technicians discovered sagging and leakage in a pipe that moves thousands of gallons of water through the plant's cooling system.
Because of the loss of the cooling towers, power output at the plant was reduced to less than 50 percent.
