The demolition of the #VermontYankee #nuclear plant's main reactor is finally here. Good. Do we trust the NorthStar executive telling us everything is just hunky dory? No, we do not.

#Orano a achevé le découpage et le conditionnement de la cuve et des composants internes du réacteur #VermontYankee aux US 🇺🇸. L'opération a duré moins de 4 ans.
