From a cheery little article in this morning’s Burlington Free Press, on the latest snafu down in Vernon, this one involving the now-seven-week-old “Slightly” Radioactive Leak That Wouldn’t Die and Rob Williams’s use of the F-word:

“Engineers at the Vermont Yankee nuclear power plant are still trying to stop a pipe from leaking slightly radioactive water. Vermont Yankee spokesman Rob Williams says there have been several attempts to fix the gasket in the 4-inch pipe in the reactor’s clean-out system, but all have failed.”

All have failed, indeed.
