[quote:Anonymous Coward 23527116:MV8xNTM3MTQ2XzM2OTIwNjYwX0UyODA5NEVB] [b]Is Duke Energy taking a page from the TEPCO playbook?[/b] There have been many flood-related concerns about the safety of nuclear power plants in the United States in the wake of the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear disaster, documents released through the Freedom of Information Act have shown that regulators have been concerned about the possibilities of floods overwhelming nuclear power stations for decades. The Nuclear Regulatory Commission has been instructing licensees to take another look at some of the risks posed to nuclear power plants by upstream dams among a host of other potential risks. Currently, a seven and a half foot protects the Oconee nuclear plant, but previous estimates showed that between nine and sixteen feet of increased water could be generated by flooding and threaten Oconee’s backup control system. Last fall, two NRC risk analysis engineers Richard Perkins and Larry Criscione blasted the previous estimates and said that the NRC had been forced to heavily edit one flood report for fear of embarrassment over how long they have let the issue linger without resolution. http://enformable.com/2013/03/is-duke-energy-taking-a-page-from-the-tepco-playbook/ .
