Author makes this astute observation of our ‘troubled plant’, following the description of cooling tower collapse, previous transformer fire & subsequent SCRAM which occured shortly thereafter:  

“The narrative seems more befitting a Soviet-era republic than modern New England, but strings of jarring failures are what many in southern Vermont, and those across the river in neighboring New Hampshire, have come to expect from Yankee.”

And, another frightening example of NRC disconnect:

“Our nuclear plants are like snowflakes, they’re all different and they can all melt.”
