NBC 24 has learned that the Davis-Besse nuclear power station nuclear reactor shut down at 10:24 a.m. today and remains idle at this hour. A Nuclear Regulatory Commission spokesperson tells NBC 24 that inspectors are unsure as to what caused the reactor to shut down. The NRC also says that all safety systems at D-B performed properly.
NBC 24 will have more information throughout the day. You can get a complete update on the shutdown on NBC 24 News At Five.
Uhm.....that's very interesting. Bump for later.
Somebody lodged their turban in a turbine?
Sounds like one of the drones in sector 7-G is asleep at the switch...
Homer Simpson report for duty
Nah, I bet a bird did this.
You're probably right.
Ping.............
Who would've thunk it?
What utter Barbara Streisand! Or is it in this case Jane Fonda? "inspectors are unsure as to what caused the reactor to shut down."
Making some broad assumptions; what caused the reactor to shut down? The rods went in. What caused the rods to go in? The reactor protection system detected a potentially unsafe condition. What 'condition'? And on and on and on.
Are things safe? Presumably. Might the protection system caused a overly aggressive shut down? Maybe but that's what the NIMBY public demands.

Gee, what was it, a 3 week run since they powered that piece of crap back up? Cedar Point should buy the damn place and open up "Nuclear World."
Your ability to cut-and-paste is not evidence of your understanding. Much of my career was spent directing some aspect of 'degradation' repair. Yawn.
