Really old nuclear plant should retire

Old Vermont Yankee has seen better days. There is a battle to extend the life of this plant. As usual, the proponents are being secretive, and saying that all the corrosion and rot failures should be ignored. But they haven't been keeping good track of metal fatigue or general corrosion. They really should have a record of testing of key components. My gut feeling is that they are going down the road of Davis-Besse.
