Tard User ID: 22534039 United States 09/20/2012 05:48 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | 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. |

[link to www.wgal.com] holy fuck that shits in my backyard - ive been in NJ all week. 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. |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 24119266 United States 09/20/2012 09:20 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Reactor shutdown at Three Mile Island — Steam release “sounded like a jet engine” — Official admits steam may be radioactive — NRC inspector inside control room Quoting: waht 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.” [link to enenews.com] [link to www.kcentv.com] [link to www.pennlive.com] [link to www.cnn.com] [link to www.msnbc.msn.com] |

Quoting: Anonymous Coward 2017758 Just saying. Thinking the exact same thing. 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! See, it's like it's not even there that way. Phew. |

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. |
