Here is what I know about Fukushima I.
It's similar to the GE BWR plant we have at Browns Ferry. Except they have 6 units to our 3. 4-6 is in outages though. It's outage season for nuclear folks. When we do our refueling. They lost offsite power and diesel generators for Unit 1. Units 2 and 3 are shutdown successfully. US Air Force has brought in some new DGs for them. Looks like they are going to be ok. Should be able to keep water over the fuel. Release won't be too bad if they can do that. I hate BWRs, radiation is everywhere. Rad water powers the turbine. Mine is a PWR, rad water is contained in it's own loop. It doesn't come on the electrical producing side of the house such as the turbine. I do not go in the rad areas very often. I have only gotten dose once cause I had to go check out the pump motors for the similar pumps that they can't keep running in this case. Hope this doesn't can our Nuke plans in the USA.

Without significant regulatory and legal shifts I think our nuke plans were canned long before this. |

No actually Nuke plans were a go in the Southeast. Im pretty sure they have been planning several more Nuke Plants to go up and be controlled by TVA.
Just read this. http://www.tennessean.com/article/20...-less-coal-use "Tennessee Valley Authority... recommends greater use of nuclear power, natural gas and renewable resources and less reliance on coal in the next two decades." "The board has approved funding for initial engineering design and site preparation for a Unit 1 reactor at the Bellefonte plant." Last edited by Full Throttle; 03-11-2011 at 10:49 PM.. |

We were actually just getting off the ground for building more. We just rebuilt Browns Ferry Unit 1. My plant, Watts Bar, is bringing online a Unit 2 for the first time currently and Bellefonte is right behind it. Quote:

The skin tone didn't give you enough of a hint?

This is not going to turn out good working for a Japanese OEM. They are already in chaos over there because many trains are not functioning and now the fear is loss of electric due to the nuclear plant issue.

Screenie of my local paper website. Poor Cali and Oregon. Japan's damage is overrated.
Love the fear mongering over nuke meltdown too.
