Now that the NRC is back up, we can see all the nukes that
went down during the government shutdown: nine of them.
If they’re not safe to run without NRC looking over their shoulder,
are they safe to run at all?
And two came back up.
Was that a prudent thing to do?
Meanwhile, solar panels don’t need an NRC.
Entergy’s
chronically faulty Pilgrim 1
was the last to fall during the shutdown,
while Southern’s
defect-shipped Farley 1
was one of the first:
| 30 Sep 2013 |
Saint Lucie 1, Farley 1, and Beaver Valley 1 |
| 2 Oct 2013 |
D.C. Cook 2 |
| 5 Oct 2013 |
Palo Verde 3 |
| 8 Oct 2013 |
Clinton |
| 12 Oct 2013 |
Oconee 2 and Hope Creek 1 |
| 14 Oct 2013 |
Sequoyah 1 |
| 15 Oct 2013 |
Pilgrim 1 |
Back up:
Exelon’s
Braidwood 1
in Illinois and
Wolf Creek 1
Wolf Creek Nuclear’s
in Kansas.
My solar panels worked that whole time.
