The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission was notified that the coolant surrounding the reactor core had reached above 75 parts per million. Anytime coolant levels exceed 50, the NRC must be notified, according to a report from NBC News.



Explain the above to me.... what in the heck is the tv station trying to say? 75 PPM what?
