The fire at the plant was in a Motor Control Center and was electrical in nature. An automatic fire supreession system extinquished the fire and power was restored withn 90 minutes. The back up pump for the cooling pool was not utilized as the plant asseses the situation and restored the main power to the cooling pumps for the spent fuel pool. The temp only increased 2 degree! THIS was not a near miss incidient. Get you facts, understand how electrical power is produced before you rush to judgement. Grow UP!
Fact: the Fukushima meltdown would not have happened if their backup generators were above the tsunami level instead of in a basement. It's that simple
So it almost took a year to find out that the fire was "serious." What do those people do at work every day? Really. People at Burger King work harder than anyone in any sort of government position. It's ridiculous.
The plant has been down for over a year and my air conditioner still works just fine. Even when this place was running it would cost them $45 to produce one megawatt, way more than any other technology. With almost eight hundred people milling around there twiddling their thumbs for over a year now AND getting paid, it is time to shut that dangerous joke of a plant down. It is so for in the hole now it will never make a profit.
Why shut it down??? oh yea to build wind turbines...let see how that works on a nice hot and humind day in July....with no wind...oh no my A/C doesnt work. The flood didnt cause the plant to sht down..it was shut down for a refueling outage..maybe get the facts straight before spouting off.
And the put the people in risk how?
Yea go ahead and shut it down..until a nice hot humid day in July or August when the A/C wont run...oh yea maybe some wind turbines!!
The flood didnt cause them to shut down, they were shut down for an refueling outage.
Maybe you should have a "clue" as to what is going on before you post. The flood did not cause the plant to shut down, and the NRC regularly visits the plant. Go work on that gut Homer.
After Fukushima our local nuke plant studied what went wrong and came up with--lose of power to the control room and loss of phone service. To remedy this they bought a couple of generators and satalite phones. You have got to be kidding me!
OPPD cannot handle this thing. Time to shut it down for good. Coal is much safer and not much dirtier.
Isnt any fire "serious"?
Please know what you are talking about before making such an inflamitory comment. At no time was all of eastern Nebraska at risk due to this stupid fire.
I was wondering why I was glowing in the dark the other night.
DOH!' BUT SERIOUSLY, WHAT THE HECK IS GOING ON UP THERE, OPPD IS SOOOOO OVER PAID, AND HERE IS PROOF THAT THEY DONT DO THIER JOBS. THANK GOD FOR THE FLOOD, BECAUSE IT CAUSED THE PLANT TO SHUT DOWN, THE NRC TO VISIT AND REVEAL ALL THIER SINS.
