funny logic from folks out there  if they have no desire to fund crippled facility, the thing will be going to f*Kingly meltdown soon 'cause operator will do its best to hurry process through as hell.

Amicus, it's true not only there. but i think we can count on a little more Time. btw, what about darpa?

heh, official monkeys confirmed the ground problem of nuke plants.

Connecticut's nuclear power plant shut one of two units on Sunday because seawater used to cool down the plant is too warm.

Unit 2 of Millstone Power Station has occasionally shut for maintenance or other issues, but in its 37-year history it has never gone down due to excessively warm water, spokesman Ken Holt said on Monday.

Water from Long Island Sound is used to cool key components of the plant and is discharged back into the sound. The water cannot be warmer than 75 degrees and following the hottest July on record has been averaging 1.7 degrees above the limit, the Nuclear Regulatory Commission said.

The Kansas Water Office said the John Redmond Reservoir was at about 75 percent of its normal capacity as of Aug. 1 but would drop to only 5 percent of its capacity by Nov. 1 if the dry pattern holds, said Earl Lewis, assistant director of the water office.
--------------
Hageman said Coffey County Lake would have to drop an additional 11 feet before the water levels were too low for the plant to operate. Even in that scenario, the plant would have enough water to keep the nuclear reactor cooled in a shutdown mode because it was built in a part of the lake designed to hold water during severe drought or emergencies, she said.

oh, yeah, sounds so optimistic  to provide up to decade-long drought ne'er been BFD 4 Mother - Nature. i'm strong supporter to use bots instead of spokesmonkeys..... oh, so sorry... spokespersons

Another troubled utility is Chubu Electric, which is desperate to save the No. 5 reactor at its Hamaoka Nuclear Power Plant, the newest unit at the site and the country's largest. The unit opened in 2005 but has been offline since last May, when Naoto Kan, then prime minister, effectively ordered it closed on fears that it lies on a particularly tsunami-prone coastline.

During the shutdown, however, about 1,300 gallons of seawater entered the reactor because of a burst pipe, and it is thought to be corroding the reactor core.

so they have got pure f#-f% situation: decommissioning will ruin their economy into ashes & restarting will accelerate the appearance of new Fukushimas.

Aug 31 (Reuters) - EDF's 915-MW Cruas 4 nuclear reactor stopped for an unplanned outage at 0855 GMT on Friday, French power grid RTE showed on its website.

Both nuclear reactors at Nine Mile Point should be shut down until the source of the radioactive tritium water leak (reported Aug. 14) is discovered. Constellation Energy should take the most sincere steps it can to minimize the potential threat to workers' health and to the people living around Nine Mile Point posed by the leak.

so glittering systematic pattern makes prediction up to annoying obvious.

Ruins have been not in the loos, but in the human minds.

Scott Burnell, a spokesman for the Nuclear Regulatory Commission, said the safety of America's nuclear plants "is not in jeopardy," because the sources of water cooling the core are self-contained and might have to shut down in some instances if water is either too warm or unavailable.

"if water is either too warm or unavailable." 4 how long period & what temperature could be tolerated out the?

[SarK0Y]

RTE did not indicate the reason for the outage and no one at EDF was immediately available for further details.

Original post: The Three Mile Island nuclear power plant shut down unexpectedly this afternoon, releasing steam containing radiation "below detectable levels," a utility spokesman told WHTM-TV.
