Missing radiation fuel rods at Vermont Yankee plant
Two highly radioactive fuel rods are missing from the Vermont Yankee plant in Montpelier. Engineers search the spent fuel pool for the rods removed in 1979. NRC spokesman Neil Sheehan says no public threat is evident, while Gov. James Douglas calls the situation intolerable and seeks further action from Entergy Nuclear. The plant sits near the Vermont border with Massachusetts and New Hampshire.
