@Edano Ah. I was reading those at hours, not days. The line across the bottom of the table. I need more coffee! :-)by lillymunster 9/12/2011 2:22:05 PM- an independent organization measured 0,11 Millisievert/hr near the plant.by Edano 9/12/2011 2:22:22 PM
- @Edano do you have a link for that so I can add it to the site? Any idea who we should watch for readings? Does CRIIRAD have citizen monitoring posts?by lillymunster 9/12/2011 2:23:43 PM
- ah, no the explosion was 11:45, still too early for the german measurings.by Edano 9/12/2011 2:24:04 PM

- @lillymunster Am I seeing this right, increased rad readings in Germany prior to incident at Marcoule?by smoss 9/12/2011 2:59:52 PM
- @smoss I just been on the seafront in the remnants of Katia I am oxygenated to excessive levels and have a nifty saline coatingby elainekirk 9/12/2011 3:00:36 PM
- @smoss Edano said it was the day before. I saw smaller bumps in other locations in Germany on that site. Don't know if it is significant or if it was something like rain causing a small jump. We will probably have a better idea tomorrow related to the explosion. I am assuming the general levels on those readings in Germany are their typical background levels.by lillymunster 9/12/2011 3:02:36 PM
- @elainekirk LOL. Is it calming down at all?by lillymunster 9/12/2011 3:03:14 PM

www.greenpeace.org Information is still emerging and we do not know the cause of the explosion, but it serves as yet another tragic reminder of the dangers of nuclear power and the urgent need for governments to follow the lead taken by Germany in phasing it out.
It should be noted that this installations on the Marcoule site has not been included in the stress tests of nuclear facilities requested by the French government, nor in the last inspections by the Nuclear Safety Authority. www.greenpeace.orgby Majj via Greenpeace.org 9/12/2011 3:21:28 PM- Sept 12 activities: NRC Names New Resident Inspector at Callaway Nuclear Power Plant and NRC Sends Special Inspection Team to Fort Calhoun Nuclear Plant www.nrc.govby Cryptococcus 9/12/2011 3:24:13 PM

- NRC sends special investigation team to Ft. Calhoun (via NRC email)
NRC SENDS SPECIAL INSPECTION TEAM TO FORT CALHOUN NUCLEAR PLANT
The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission has begun a special inspection at the Fort
Calhoun Station to review the circumstances surrounding a breaker fire that resulted in an Alert
declaration on June 7. The plant, operated by the Omaha Public Power District, is located about
20 miles north of Omaha, Neb. and has been shutdown since April for a refueling outage and
impacts from the Missouri River floodwaters.
A team of three NRC inspectors, who began their work today, will evaluate the
circumstances leading up to a fire in a switchgear room housing buses that provide power to
multiple pieces of equipment. The fire caused a temporary loss of power to the spent fuel pool
cooling pumps that circulate water through the pool. There were no major safety impacts due to
the plant being in a safe shutdown condition.
The NRC is conducting a special inspection to ensure that the causes are known and
corrected prior to the plant being approved to restart.
“We want to thoroughly understand the circumstances surrounding the fire and the
modification made to the breaker component that may have potentially caused the fire, “said
Region IV Administrator Elmo E. Collins.
The NRC inspectors will write an inspection report on their findings within 45 days of
the end of the inspection that will be publicly availableby lillymunster 9/12/2011 4:03:53 PM - Nuclear power plant returns to service Indiana Michigan Power, a unit of American Electric Power (AEP, NYSE: AEP), said the 1,036 MW Cook Nuclear Plant Unit 1 returned to service September 9 following an automatic shutdown of the main turbine that occurred on September 7.
An analysis of the cause of the turbine shutdown found the issue to be with electronic instrumentation used to monitor the turbine and not a failure of the turbine. AEP said all safety systems functioned appropriately and Cook’s 1,107 MW Unit 2 remained at full power during the Unit 1 shutdown. www.power-eng.comby Cryptococcus 9/12/2011 4:06:19 PM - more videos from France coming online: newsblogged.comby Cryptococcus 9/12/2011 4:08:26 PM
