ITEM: On April 21, 2004, two pieces of highly radioactive fuel rods were stolen from the Vermont Yankee Nuclear Power Plant. They have not been recovered.

No. Emphatically no. These rods were never thought to be stolen. They probably never left the plant but rather they were not properly accounted for in the plant's paper work. In fact they think they may have located them.

Thanks for the info, but I think they are saying that they are still not sure.
