VERNON — A newspaper photographer on assignment
to get a picture of the Vermont Yankee nuclear power
plant was threatened with arrest for treason Wednesday
by the Vernon Police Department.

Under a little-known Vermont law, it is illegal to take
pictures of a nuclear power station — or any power
station under the jurisdiction of the Public Service Board
for that matter — during times of war or threat of war,
according to Vermont Title 13, subsection 3481. The
entire section is entitled “treason.”
