NRC Meets About Cracks In Vermont Yankee POSTED: 8:23 am EDT July 24, 2004 UPDATED: 8:45 am EDT July 24, 2004 VERNON, Vt. -- The Nuclear Regulatory Commission has asked for more information about cracks in the Vermont Yankee nuclear power plant's steam dryer. The steam dryer was the subject of two top-level, closed-door meetings at NRC headquarters outside Washington this week. After the meetings with Entergy and General Electric, an NRC official said additional information is still needed. Earlier this month, the commission said the cracking was the biggest obstacle to Entergy Nuclear's plans to boost power at Vermont Yankee. The cracking could result in pieces breaking off and falling into the steam lines that lead out of the reactor. Several reactors in Illinois have been forced to shut down because of similar cracking.
