Over-reaction?
sounds soooooo familiar....
Obama is looking for ‘just the right event’ — not this time I guess.
Those generators are going to cause global warming. We're doomed.
IT FUNCTIONED JUST LIKE IT WAS DESIGNED TO DO!
While it’s in shutdown mode, Obama will have an opportunity to keep it locked down and eventually closed.
Hi, we’re from the EPA and we’re here to screw you.
Exelon Corp. (EXC) said Tuesday that four of its nuclear-power plants have declared "unusual events" following an earthquake in northern Virginia.
Exelon's Limerick plant near Philadelphia, Oyster Creek plant near Toms River, N.J., Peach Bottom plant near Lancaster, Pa., and Three Mile Island Unit 1 plant near Harrisburg, Pa., declared unusual events in the wake of a 5.9-magnitude earthquake centered northwest of Richmond, Va., the company said.
Are they GE boiling water reactors?
I think it should be converted to coal fired.
2 nuclear reactors taken offline after Va. quake
Federal officials say two nuclear reactors at the North Anna Power Station in Louisa County, Va., were automatically taken off line by safety systems around the time of the earthquake.
The Dominion-operated power plant is being run off three emergency diesel generators, which are supplying power for critical safety equipment. The NRC and Dominion are sending people to inspect the plant.
A fourth diesel generator failed, but it wasn't considered an emergency because the other generators are working, according to the Nuclear Regulatory Commission.
...Hannah said he knew of no other shut reactor but that unusual events were reported at a dozen other plant sites.
Meanwhile the cops are probably out rounding up guns door-to-door, “Just to be safe.”
Lenny Bruce is not afraid.
“The AP reports the plant is being run off of four emergency diesel generators, which are supplying power for critical safety equipment.”
WHAT? The Enviro-Weenies are gonna be all over THIS! Using Fossil Fuels to cover for a Nuclear Plant shut-down?
Heads. Will. Explode.
Oh. Wait. Never mind...
Curious as to why this is still #1 in Breaking News. A shutdown is Standard Operating Procedure and the breaking news part would be if it DIDN’T shut down. Are we fear-mongering or is there an unreported issue going on here? Just curious
