Freight cars derail on way to Vermont Yankee in Vernon

By Susan Smallheer, Brattleboro Reformer Mar 1, 2023

"Some empty 'spacer' freight cars and engines on their way to Vermont Yankee nuclear power plant derailed last week.

"No nuclear waste was involved [this time], according to a NorthStar Group Services spokesman. Repairs to the rail line were still being done on Wednesday. The derailment took place Feb. 24, near the rail crossing near the Miller Farm."

#Orano a achevé le découpage et le conditionnement de la cuve et des composants internes du réacteur #VermontYankee aux US 🇺🇸. L'opération a duré moins de 4 ans.

@GraniteGeek The Bloomberg article is slightly misleading in stating #VermontYankee's contribution to the state's production and use; while it provided approx 70% of all electricity generated in #Vermont, it (only) met 35% of #VT's overall electricity requirements.
