Not unusual.

Probable cause man-made-error on a valve, per Tri Cities Herald.

Nothing much to see here. Really.

There is only one reactor at Hanford anymore since they shut down the N-Reactor and FFTF (Fast Flux Test Facility)20 or so years ago.

“Is your reactor scramming?”

“Yes.”

“Better run and catch it!”

Possible hack? Like the NY dam by the Iranians?

IIRC Hanford is a graphite reactor, similar to Chernobyl.

They should open up the Atomic National Park.

See the bubbling waste plutonium tanks. Good for 500 years. The waste lasts for thousands, however....

Be at a real reactor scram....

See us make nuclear waste into glass....

Oh wait, it’s the government polluting the environment. Nothing to see here. Nothing happened. Never mind. ;-)

“That means the cooling failed “

Not necessarily.

Lots of things are “downwind” from Washington State.

There are a lot of reasons for a reactor to SCRAM. The most common is that there was a sudden drop in load and they cannot back the boiler down fast enough.

Hanford - se Washington state, Tri-Cities/ Richland + Kennewick + Pasco - east side of the Cascade Mountains. We used to live there - couple of hours west of WallaWalla/ couple of hours southwest of Spokane.

The engineers there are top-notch. But human.

No big deal. It is the first UNPLANNED shutdown in six years.

I live real close to the reactor.
