8 November 2007 -- Entergy said it is putting in place corrective actions to address problems related to the recent failure of part of the plant's cooling tower. The Nuclear Regulatory Commission issued an inspection report November 8 saying the plant wasn't performing adequate inspections of a series of water-cooling towers at the plant before one of them collapsed in August.

Plant spokesman Robert Williams said Vermont Yankee had arrived at the same conclusions as it reviewed the collapse. "Although all of those findings are of low safety significance, we take them seriously," Williams said. He said Entergy is "putting in place corrective actions necessary to help ensure those do not happen again."

Williams said the plant had shared information about the weaknesses it found in the cooling tower structure with the rest of the nuclear industry.
