PAY ATTENTION !! There are 5 Nuclear Power Plants in NC !!! Hurricane Florence inbound

with Global Warming and Climate Change, it's News.

At least horses aren't dying by the hundreds in the streets of new york. Just truckloads of Axe blowing up.

Look up the NEI and the crazy amount of success these power plants have, and amount of precautions and measures taken, when hit by hurricanes.

Those teams are flat out heroes. Everything will be all good.

probly so. but, it's just that the worst case scenario is pretty bad.
we've seen it happen twice (Chernobyl and Fukushima)..

What happens twice will happen three times.:magic:

Nothing to see

What happened to owning or buying a map. I feel storm going down and up again.don't know where and USA state us these days. Its like your of my the map .

Insite tells me alls well.yeah winds etc etc all is good and so are the ppl.
Over to the West not so good. A freak storm you name it to happen. Sth near the bottom. Also nth in months stay awake

There never is unfortunately

:disappoint:

U.S. Nuclear Reactors are pretty safe.
until somebody does something stupid, anyway.

So then, the main question we need to have answered is was there any Israeli security detail or upgrades from Israeli contractors there in the last year or so??

Hmmmmm??

Can only imagine the shit show of crap in the previous 10 thousand pages.

I am hoping to have a serious conversation about the Brunswick reactor...

The last GFS and Euro models are showing a decidedly southern turn and is no placing landfall just to the south of Wilmington..

This will put the Inlets to the intercoastal and Cape Fear river inlets on the northern side of the hurricane which is where the worst storm surge and winds will be.

The catastrophic rain that is set to come down in the aftermath is also predicted to stall out at land fall dumping as much as 41 inches of rain near the coast...

They are right now talking about a 23 to 25 foot storm surge and should it come near midnight, it will be at high tide..

I would like a serious commentator to talk about the physical characteristics of this plant. Some one above stated the generators are 30 feet off the ground.. If so this would be very good...

But what about all the other safety gear. Given it's location, it could be on its own for the better part of 2 to 3 days and completely surrounded by water...

Are they going to SCRAM it well in advance of the storm surge? There are NO COOLING TOWERS correct?? So they are going to be completely dependent on Diesel generators and pumps that could potentially be under water for long periods of time.

this is a disaster in the making.

Can anyone verify they did anything about these findings? They were flagged as WHITE, only 1 step above Green for OK. Means that they probably put it on the back burner...


From 2016

BRUNSWICK COUNTY, NC (WECT) - The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission says fuel oil tank rooms that serve the Brunswick Nuclear Plant's emergency diesel generators were not properly protected from possible flooding. According to a news release from the NRC, this is a finding of "low to moderate safety significance" and will lead to increased inspection of the facility.

On the safety significance scale, this is a "white" finding, which is one step up from the lowest safety level of green.

The NRC release says the violation involved the failure to identify and correct issues in the fuel oil tank rooms that made them more susceptible to flooding during a hurricane. The emergency diesel generators are used to power cooling systems for the reactors should the plant lose power off site.

An inspector from the NRC detailed the finding a report on November 29th. Company officials didn't contest the finding and didn't discuss the issue during a regulatory conference. They have installed new sealant material to close openings on the oil tank rooms and constructed barriers to limit possible wave run-up to the facility.

The NRC says this finding will lead to more oversight for the Brunswick plant, including a supplemental inspection.

Hope you're prepped the best as you can be

PAY ATTENTION !!!

This aint North Carolina's first rodeo and nothing happened the last times. This aint Japan either, America has great safeguards.

Not sure if you saw the very latest runs, but the whole thing has shifted south. Just waiting for EU evidently to confirm or cause confusion.

If the shift is South, this puts all of that on the Northern side of the storm and that is very bad.

Dr Master's also just released a statement about a 12 foot increase in the water level for up to 20 miles in either direction of the eye.. Not a storm surge, but a rise in the water level, THEN the storm surge, then the waves on top of that...

Crazy.

yea because you know those Japanese are just known for slacking on the their engineering...

they built a nuclear power plant in a flood prone area in normal times and now they are looking at 40+ inches of rain north of the eye(wherever that happens to be, but looking more and more like cape fear).. A 12" rise in the ocean levels and then a 23 foot storm surge...

but you keep on the MAGA shit and pretend there isn't a possible issue here.

Did they secure the Diesel tanks like they were supposed to in 2016?? Probably not..

Hope you don't live near this place.

Those DGs were my concern as well, noted previously in here.

If they are 30 feet ABOVE GROUND, that puts them at apx 55' ASL??? Or are they merely 30' ASL??

Also, are they/have they transferred undepleted fuel from the reactor core to the FH pool?

How much diesel fuel is on hand in the event of two weeks (or more) w/o grid power?

And what about the coolant pumps themselves? How protected are they from flooding or electrical-shorting and/or malfunction???

How protected is the Control Room and its operational-integrity (MOVATS, SCADA, etc)?

Exactly.. People think that the hurricane took out Fukishima or that the storm surge doomed Fukishima. It was neither.. After the storm and surge and rain passed, if you looked at the video from the reactor, it looked FINE.... The issue was that land power was cut, and the diesel generators were under water.. And even if they weren't.. The fuel to keep them running WAS.. All the mangled mess at Fukishima happened when the Cores started to melt down due to lack of coolant...

until somebody does something stupid.

Yes, sort of. To most of the above (no March 2011 hurricane at Fuku, tho). Fukushima's alleged doom-tsunami was allegedly/conspiratorially a man-made-triggering of the sea shelf-slippage by several nukes installed into the ocean floor.

Jim Stone laid this all out on his website back in 2011 after it happened, incl the details re the utilization of STUXNET and 12' high 'stereoscopic' gunbarrel-nuke .. 'cameras'. Which the media blamed on hydrogen-buildup (re spent-fuel bldg explosions). LOL. Not even mentioning industry-wide Fail-Safe mechanisms that kick-in to prevent that dangerous hydrogen concentration in the first place..

Its North Carolina. They are geniuses can break anything. With anything else. Example:

[link to www.wect.com]

Always wondered why they didn't vent the Hydrogen.. It made absolutely no sense whatsoever. They were worried about a "release" into the environment, but the end result was the worst possible outcome...

I remember watching as the hydrogen built up in those things and the little vents they were using to release it.. Fuck take a can opener and open the entire side of the building if you had to.. At least you'd have the infrastructure in place when you finally did get a working generator in place..

Stupidity abounded during those fateful 2 or 3 days.

They lied about the whole damn thing.

Those very tall tube-towers showing right next to the FH bldgs were the engineered and installed mechanism by which the hydrogen would be released or purged from the building.

No electricity was even required to open the doors up into those huge tubes. They work on pressure-differentials and also on the much lighter elemental-weight of hydrogen itself. The lighter-than-air hydrogen would readily be purged upwards into those tall tower-tubes and released from the spent-fuel bldg automatically. There was no hydrogen-buildup in those.

The explosions were NOT even hydrogen explosions. They do not burn as hot as witnessed by the incredible hot-melt (fission-) damage, satellite-photographed inside the fuel bldg a few days later.

The Fukushima truth is much more sinister than that, unfortunately..

Earthquake crippled fukushima and then triggered tsunami which washed it all apart and out into sea.

The reactors you are talking about have a big issue which is they are old, unserviced and outdated.

Not sure a storm will affect.

im too poor to pay attention

:amazing:

Let me know when FEMA starts handing out Potassium Iodide pills to Wilmington locals....then I'll start getting a little concerned.

It's called HAARP, my dear

for later

Will Brunswick survive ? Due for a direct hit from the eye wall
