Quoting: MILLSTONE AROUND OUR NECKS?? 25434424 Millstone takes precautions The Millstone Power Station in Waterford, located on Long Island Sound, is closely monitoring the storm and has been installing flood barriers around the plant in case the storm surge is higher than anticipated, Ken Holt, spokesman for Millstone owner Dominion, said Sunday. The Unit 2 nuclear reactor at the plant is shut down for routine refueling, but Unit 3 is expected to continue operating through the storm, he said. "There does not appear to be a need at this time to take it off line," he said. "But we are watching the storm track closely." [link to www.theday.com] . um, you can't shut a nuclear power plant down you can insert control rods to stop the fission but the decay heat still needs removing if it loses off-site power they should have generators kick in, if they fail, batteries worst case scenario, they all fail BANG but that will never happen, ever *cough* |

Quoting: wisc_natureboy As usual, I grabbed some 5-year old cans of preps and replaced them with newer cans. When I was leaving, I had an overwhelming notion to grab my potassium iodide tablets and take them with me. I was in my vehicle ready to leave when it hit me so strong, I turned off the vehicle and went back inside to access my stash. It is no easy task to move the stove, remove the floorboards and gain access to my hidden cache, and I had just done this, but the urge was so strong I did it again and retrieved my KI pills. I sure hope this was common doom-paranoia and not inspiration, but I thought I'd pass it along as KI pills are only good if one has them on-hand. Good luck people. Fortune favours the prepared. EDIT: to add 'Doom' to thread title. LoL. ![]() ![]() |

Quoting: Anonymous Coward 10957384 Wouldn't the fallout head towards the UK and Europe and only affect a small population of people in the States? Wisconsin is surrounded by Nuclear power plants. Lake Michigan, the Mississippi River and Illinois plants to the South. A couple are among the oldest in the country, first fired up in the early 1970's. . . . --- We all breathe the same air |
