Blimey!

From the local nuclear watchdog group on structural defects in the Pilgrim plant-

http://www.pilgrimwatch.org/struc5.html

Lack of Quality Assurance for Fuel Pool Cooling System during LOCA/LOOP

In 1992, a study at the Susquehanna NPS by David Lockbaum and Donald Prevatte concluded that there is a major meltdown risk that is generic to boiling water reactor’s, Like Pilgrim (David Lockbaum, Nuclear Waste Disposal Crisis, PennWell Books, Tulsa, Oklahoma 1996).

[b]The design flaw can occur in the event of an accident or the loss of off-site power. Pilgrim NPS is on the coast and loss of off-site power is a concern. Although there are backup diesel generators to protect a reactors cooling system if power is lost, there are no such diesel backups for a reactor’s used fuel pool[/b]; and all back-up generators may be inoperable - as was the case at Seabrook Station. During a LOCA, the normal cooling system would be useless because it runs on electricity. Activating the backup system manually would expose plant workers to fatal levels of radiation. The fix is expensive and time consuming. It has not happened.

Original Message Pilgrim shut down because of loss of power. 3000 spent fuel rods on site.

Possible flooding impact also.

Here we go.
