what I have not seen mentioned with this story is that the Kewaskum nuclear plant about [50 mi north of Milwaukee] went off line on Sat. [the same day the towers fell] for about 35 days of maintenance work. reported in the Urinal.
also have heard scattered reports that other towers had loosened bolts.
bigger picture/connect the dots?
You had me going there, wondering when Kewauskum put in a power plant, much less a nuclear plant.
Kewaunee is closer to Green Bay than it is to Milwaukee.
Not to worry about Kewaunee just getting a new head:
Kewaunee nuclear plant outage and reactor vessel head project support long-term safe operation
KEWAUNEE, Wis. (Oct. 11, 2004)—Kewaunee Nuclear Power Plant began a scheduled refueling outage Saturday that includes the final phases of a $20 million project to install a new reactor vessel head.
During this outage, more than 550 contractors will assist plant staff with extensive routine inspections and approximately 4,000 preventive maintenance activities, in addition to replacing the reactor vessel head.
“A new reactor vessel head represents a major investment in Kewaunee that will ensure continued safe, economic and reliable operation of this vital source of electricity for the region,” said Tom Coutu, Site Vice President for Kewaunee.
The new Kewaunee reactor head vessel is the first of five to be installed under contracts signed earlier this year by Nuclear Management Company (NMC) with Westinghouse Electric Company. NMC is undertaking replacement of the reactor vessel heads proactively as inspections continue to demonstrate the structural integrity of the existing heads.
The 574-megawatt Kewaunee plant is one of six Upper Midwest nuclear plants operated by NMC headquartered in Hudson, Wis. The plant is owned by Wisconsin Public Service of Green Bay (59 percent) and Alliant Energy (41 percent) of Madison, Wis.
