When specialists do a Seismic PRA what is typically found to be the dominant source of risk is a combination of the following:

An earthquake damages incoming power lines by failing the ceramic insulators associated with high voltage power lines.
Onsite emergency diesels fail due to provide power (typical causes include anchorage of diesel engine coolers, disruption of fuel oil supplies, etc)
Inability to restore power from downed transmission lines or bring in a large portable generator eventually results in loss of battery power, instrumentation, and the ability to cool the reactor.

gmail @ lilly

need to get dinner ready... will try to return

a good few techi diagrams here pbadupws.nrc.gov

@elainekirk I think it is testing particulate vs. a filtration system but not sure why the details on chemical whatnot.

@elainekirk at least Byron doesn't have a fault line running directly under it. That seems to have been typical in the 1970's

The issues listed on North Anna in that are um. eep.

braidwood byrons 'twin' radioactive effluent report 2006 with layout pbadupws.nrc.gov

yeah and why hasnt power been restored rather long delay with no 'we expect' announcements

@lillymunster really odd

@lillymunster so they are on emergency for another week?

French Report Faults Indecision on Nuclear Industry
www.nytimes.com
The court, an independent agency perhaps analogous to the U.S. Congressional Budget Office, noted that in a practical sense the kind of build-up in new generating capacity necessary to replace the aging reactor fleet was essentially “impossible.”

@Lurking some were supposedly "unknown" at the time of construction but found later as seismic science advances. Then there are many that were "unknown" until someone fessed up that yea, the execs knew the fault lines were there.

@Lurking plants built in the 70's are now in the middle of suburbs, not in the middle of nowhere. The safety by distance has been voided.
