NRC back up: many nukes down


Newly down nukes

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:
