Radioactive Leak Is Fixed at Vermont Plant
By MATTHEW L. WALD

Summary;Technicians have found and fixed two holes in an underground pipe that were allowing radioactive tritium to flow into the groundwater at the Vermont Yankee nuclear reactor. The leak did not contaminate any drinking water, but it did cause a political uproar in Vermont; the State Senate overwhelmingly approved a measure last month that will force the plant to shut in 2012.
Response: Good thing this was caught before anyone was hurt or it caused serious damage.
