We knew this was coming.
Radioactive tritium has been detected in the Connecticut river, exactly where one might expect to find it deposited from Vermont Yankee’s plume of tritium.
The only remaining question is how Entergy will choose to spin this one. Will it be the banana story or the one about “background” radiation from nuclear testing in the 1960’s?
It doesn’t really matter which one they settle upon, since it’s all just a dumb show to distract us from the terrible truth that other, far more deadly isotopes have likely made the same trip.
study,monitoring and measuring it was determined that water does indeed flow downhill.
Hope they keep up the aggressive sampling to document the contamination levels.

Think of it as “enhanced.”
It’s water plus!
Ever have trouble finding your bottled water in the dark? Can’t tell which bottle is yours in the breakroom fridge?
Well, here’s the answer: Glow H20, bottled at the source in lovely southeastern Vermont! Yes, Glow H20, the water that literally glows with vitality! Glow H20, distributed by EnterBev, and available at fine retailers everywhere.
Let’s not jump to any hasty conclusions here.
Just because VY poured tritium into the ground water doesn’t mean that the tritium on the river bank came from there. It is far more likely that it came from Fukishima, because Entergy says so and they’ve never lied to us before (just ask AG Sorrell).
It’s not like the tritium molecules say ‘Property of Vermont Yankee’ on them.
Just like there’s no proof tobacco smoke causes cancer and there’s no proof that global warming exists.
When the Fed can prove that they didn’t fake the moon landings, then Entergy will be happy to disclose the true source of the tritium on the shores of the CT River.
And don’t get them started on the Strontium-90, which was obviously left-over radiation from the Big Bang and can’t possibly ever have come from a nuclear power plant 9 miles away!
Who are you going to believe, a bunch of anti-nuclear whackos or Entergy?
Although, to be fair, it’s just a theory…
