Palisades nuclear power plant shut down due to leaks

The Palisades nuclear power plant shut down on Sunday morning, just after 1 am, due to a leak from the Safety Injection Refueling Water Tank. Last year, the plant was shut down due to leaks from the SIRW tank, after the leaking water was found to be seeping into the control room, but was allowed to restart by the Nuclear Regulatory Commission until the leak reached some 34 gallons per day.  According to plant operators, the leakage had increased for “unknown reasons” to an estimated 90 gallons per day.
