Most report "an unusual event" and shut down. I am on this fence if this is a good thing or not. On the one hand I do not like the sound of "an unusual event", on the other hand I would like to see them all shut down before something worse happens. Quoting: Plenty Paws Nuke plants shut down all the time, for various reasons. They are HYPER about safety and contigencies. A backup for the backup and all that. I work in the Nuc industry. The standard for any safety system is, what is the probability of failure in 10 to the 7th power per year? If it is one, they shut the plant down. Yes Fukushima was a great example./....NOT!!! Japan totally lacks the safety culture the NRC and the Nuclear industry in the US has. The GE engineer team that built the failed reactors in Japan resigned when they found out where the reactors were located (in a tsunami zone) and that their backup power relied on land lines. You work in the industry and you don't know that the GE 3 resigned over the flawed design of the Mark I reactor..? Hmm... [link to abcnews.go.com] [snip] Thirty-five years ago, Dale G. Bridenbaugh and two of his colleagues at General Electric resigned from their jobs after becoming increasingly convinced that the nuclear reactor design they were reviewing -- the Mark 1 -- was so flawed it could lead to a devastating accident. "The problems we identified in 1975 were that, in doing the design of the containment, they did not take into account the dynamic loads that could be experienced with a loss of coolant," Bridenbaugh told ABC News in an interview. "The impact loads the containment would receive by this very rapid release of energy could tear the containment apart and create an uncontrolled release." |

Quoting: Plenty Paws You could shut them all down today and you would still have to supply power to them for cooling for more than 30 years. Reactors are dirty machines. Thirty years??? Wow... I didn't know that!!! Let's not forget the spent fuel.. which contains plutonium. Plutonium must be tended, for all intents and purposes, forever. |

It caught on fire once, it can do so again. These things need to be shut down before disaster strikes. If you have nothing left to burn you set yourself on fire ~ Stars And it's ironic too 'Cause what we tend to do Is act on what they say And then it is that way~Jem. This is GLP in a nutshell. No one is awake. |
