Vermont Yankee okay, spokesman says

From Vermont Yankee spokesman Lawrence Smith, via Southern Vermont reporter Susan Smallheer:

Entergy Nuclear spokesman Larry Smith reported just before noon that Vermont Yankee nuclear plant is at 100 percent power and there is no flooding at the Vernon site.

"There have been no issues reported at the plant," he said in an email. Vermont Yankee is smack dab in the middle of most projections of Hurricane Irene, as it travels northeast to New Hampshire.
