Re: Officials investigate Three Mile Island Shutdown
Be interesting to know what really caused the "noise" residents heard nearby.

Accident being covered up?

Exelon officials are investigating what caused Three Mile Island to automatically shut down Thursday afternoon.

Authorities say undetectable amounts of radiation were released into the air, but there's no danger to the public. No one was told to leave that area.

Around 220 Thursday afternoon, some people who live near TMI heard a loud noise. That sound was the sound of the plant automatically shutting down.

A spokesperson for the nuclear power plant says during the automatic shut down, steam was released into the atmosphere. It had very small, undetectable amounts of radiation.

political correctness is a doctrine.... fostered by a delusional, illogical minority...... and rabidly promoted by an unscrupulous mainstream media; which holds forth the proposition that it is entirely possible to pick up a turd by the clean end.

Reactor shutdown at Three Mile Island — Steam release “sounded like a jet engine” — Official admits steam may be radioactive — NRC inspector inside control room

CNN: The Three Mile Island nuclear power plant shut down unexpectedly Thursday when a reactor coolant pump failed, federal regulators said. [... An NRC spokesman] said one of the four reactor coolant pumps appears to have stopped working. Though three others remain, the system shuts down when an anomaly is detected, he said.

WCAU: An NRC inspector is on site and in the plant’s control room, according to officials.

Daily Record: Immediately after the shut down, an inspector with the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission responded to the plant’s control room to ensure safety systems were functioning as designed, said Neil Sheehan, an NRC spokesman. “(The inspector) did not identify any immediate concerns with operator or equipment performance,” he said.

York Daily Record: “The steam discharge is a normal part of the shut down process,” [David Tillman, a spokesman for the plant] said. “If there is any trace of radiation in the steam discharge, it is below detectable levels.”

NUCLEAR POWER PLANT IN OSWEGO NY WENT DOWN TODAY TOO!

"Officials with Constellation Energy Nuclear Group, the plant’s owner, originally thought the turbine that spins to make electricity had tripped. But the Nuclear Regulatory Commission said late Tuesday the shutdown was due to a high neutron flux in the plant’s reactor.

The cause of the condition is still under review"

It was at 100% power when it just went kaput all of a sudden.

They mean they won't be turning on their detectors and it's invisible so you won't be seeing it either. Learn lawyer talk!

Yes, old reactors past their "best-by" date are bound to have increased risk of minor and major accidents.

Yeah, these weird accidents happen on the same day and you just write it off as "old reactors." Yeah, they are antiquated and understaffed by brainless union thugs, but this "neutron flux" problem is one we've never heard since these reactors were built.
