all kinds of stuff gets sucked up in the intakes.. I'd hate to have to clean up that mess. yuck. but Hey, the money's good I bet ... and it's a job.
Good. I’ve seen those old movies where they didn’t take the proper precautions at some nuclear power plant and we ended up with giat sea creatures. Godzilla was bad enough, the last thing we need are giant radioactive jelly fish destroying London.
Those old movies were documentaries, weren’t they?
That must sting.
probably same ones that Marlin and Dory ran into
That’s still better than the exhaust which is blocked by a single two hundred foot wide radioactive jellyfish.
I’m presumming these are “traveling screens” ( i.e. an endless belt of screeening that dumps debris into a cleanup system). Most I’ve seen do have a “screen wash” feature to disloge sticky debris but I can see where these gooey critters could overmatch the system. OTOH, why not send the critters through the condensers and discharge the resultant cooked critter to the local scavengers ? (Yeah I know; they’ll plug up the tube sheets.) >PS
Sounds like they need a few of Johnny Carson’s
“Bass-O-Matics” near the intake screens!
