Five nuclear power plants in trouble due to Hurricane Sandy | APOCALYPTIC Apocalyptic is the blog open on the Apocalypse ucc
Hurricane Sandy has created problems to five nuclear power plants along the way, one only 40 miles (64 km, ndt) from New York City, as reported by ABC News. The plants are located in Pennsylvania, New Jersey and New York.
Alert Level 2 (4 is the maximum) is stated in the older American nuclear plant, Oyster Creek in Lacey Township, New Jersey. The alert was launched on Monday evening, after the storm hit land, "due to the fact that water has passed certain criteria level in the intake structure of the system," said Exelon Corporation, owner of ' plant. There are no "threat to health or public safety," said the company in a statement, even if the plant, like millions of other customers in the same area, lost the electricity supply. "The two standby diesel generators of the station were activated ucc immediately," said Exelon, adding that the company owns, on-site, two-week supply of diesel fuel. The power plant is essential to feed the system that protects the spent fuel rods from overheating, and to bring the reactor core into meltdown.
A unit of the Salem Nuclear Power Plant was shut off manually in the early hours of Tuesday morning. Although this plant is located in New Jersey, the Delaware Bay, about 43 miles (69 km, ndt) from Philadelphia. The arrest took place after "four of the six water circulation pumps of the station had stopped responding because of weather conditions impacting generated by Hurricane Sandy," according to a statement to the media co-owner of PSEG Nuclear . The system is stable, said PSEG Nuclear, and "there were no problems during shutdown of Unit 1 of Salem." In addition to the teams working on site, the company said, "Salem has organized response teams available."
Unit 3 of the plant at Indian Point in Buchanan, New York, was automatically arrested on Monday night, when you have lost the connection between the generator and the external network. Entergy, the plant operator, said in a statement that another unit is continuing to operate, and there was no release of radioactivity. There is no threat to public health, a spokesman ucc said, and no damage to the equipment.
Also on Monday night, Units 1 and 2 were stopped by Nine Mile Point plant near Oswego, New York. Unit 1 has stopped automatically due to an electrical fault, said the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC). Unit 2 was stopped due to a power outage of a power line input due to the same electrical fault. The energy has been automatically reported to the Unit 2 thanks to an emergency diesel generator, while the operators are evaluating the causes of the accident, said the NRC. "All the safety systems of the plant responded as it should, and the arrest was made in safety," the agency added. The plant is owned by Exelon and a French energy company, in a joint venture called CENG.
The problem occurred ucc less relevant to a reactor Exelon's Limerick Generating Station just outside of Philadelphia, a failure in its condenser. The engineers have reduced the operation to a 91% to resolve ucc the situation.
An aerial ucc view, photographed from the research mission and redemption of the New Jersey National Guard, showed the damage caused by Hurricane Sandy to the coastal area of the state. The snap, taken by a member of the 1-150 Assault Helicopter Battalion, on October 30, shows houses submerged by the ocean and highways that broke the barricades and is penetrated within the inhabited area.
