Vermont Yankee Nuclear Power Plant

Vermont Yankee Nuclear Power Plant was a facility in Vermont that produced electricity using nuclear energy. It used nuclear reactions to generate heat, which then produced steam to turn turbines and generate power for homes and businesses. The plant operated safely for many years but was permanently closed in 2014 due to economic and regulatory challenges. It featured a reactor core, cooling systems, and safety measures to prevent accidents. Today, it is in the process of shutdown and decommissioning, where the plant is being dismantled and its radioactive materials safely managed.
