5 nuke plants 9/16 all had ELECTRICAL probs MI NY VA & AZ

Just read bout this the other day in the local paper, Fermi is still shut down. Odd that there are 5 total.

Actually SIX thanks to an AC that shared a link from Canada:

and one in the UK now too:

Thread: Another Nuke Plant incident, this time in the UK, what is it with this surge in probs at plants?

UK thread is from 2011.

Now a circuit breaker explodes at Palo Verde NPP, WTF??
Are we getting power surges (or failures) more than usual, causing these issues at Nuke Plants?? A LOT of electrical issues showing up LATE on NRC event report pages NY - AZ and almost all happened the same day = 9/16:

PALO VERDE (AZ) **NOTIFICATION OF UNUSUAL EVENT DUE TO RAPID COMBUSTION OF A LOAD CENTER BREAKER aka EXPLOSION

"The following event description is based on information currently available. If through subsequent reviews of this event, additional information is identified that is pertinent to this event, or alters the information being provided at this time a follow-up notification will be made via the ENS or under the reporting requirements of 10CFR50.73.

"Non Class Load Center Breaker, 2ENGN-L04 failed, resulting an a visible observation of rapid combustion and resultant charring (burned area) of the breaker enclosure and housing. No physical deformation to the breaker housing or surrounding area has been identified. The rapid combustion self-extinguished immediately following the audible and visible combustion event. As a result, an Emergency Classification of HU2.2, EXPLOSION was declared due to the Load Center breaker failure and noise and visible indication observed in the field."

There were also problems at Fitzpatrick (NY) which may be electrical in nature (multi doors stuck open in secondary containment)
Event date 9/18

What do you guys think?

Electrictards? Suntards? Stuxnet tards? This is a bit unusual and people living around these particular areas/NPPS should be aware.

We also need intel on what, if anything, was going on with the sun and power grid that day.

I will keep checking the list from the NRC to see if any others get posted.

Fermi is covered in detail in this thread:
