U.S. Declares 'Alert' At Oyster Creek Nuclear Plant In N.J.
The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission said that at “Alert” has been declared at the Oyster Creek nuclear power plant in Forked River, New Jersey, an event related to Hurricane Sandy.
The NRC said that the plant, which is in a regularly scheduled outage, declared the Alert at 8:45 p.m. Eastern time “due to water exceeding certain high water level criteria in the plant’s water intake structure.”
The Commission notes that an Alert is the second lowest of four NRC action levels. Before reaching Alert status, the plant declared an “Unusual Event” when the water first reached a minimum high water level criteria, the NRC says.

@ James, yes I agree but all that would have to be done is to remove corporate protection from the people who build and operate the nuke plant. Basically if they cut corners or run the facility in a negligent manner in anyway that harms people they get criminally charged, not some BS corporate fine but jail time for real people... solved.

What Fukushima has taught us is that:
1: Free (decay) heat is (also) free (and horribly wasted) energy!
2: Wasting free heat energy by ignorantly relying upon and totally wasting unreliable “other” electrical energy just to pump it “away” into water bodies is criminal waste, criminal engineering negligence and thermal pollution!
3: This ignorantly wasted free rod-decay heat ITSELF should be generating 90% or more of the power needed for them to cool themselves off, sustainably!
4: Spare fuel rods must always be safely enclosed in thermocouple sleeves to convert them and their hazardous waste-heat into self-sustaining thermopile battery power!
5: Fukushima was the result of criminal engineering incompetence, malpractice and gross engineering and regulatory criminal negligence.
6: STUPIDLY failing to heed this simple lesson while still evilly enslaved to this satanic-communist deal with a trillion damning nuclear-terrorist communist devils is now (due to waste and regulatory mismanagement) going to inevitably cause a series of global catastrophes unparalleled in all living history. Maybe the end of all life here, forever, itself.
When all of society bears the risks and losses in a permanent endless war where only a few profit, that is communism.
TLS, I would be in agreement if corporations gave a F about safety over profit.
Parts of two nuclear power plants were shut down and another one put on alert, as the ‘Superstorm’ Sandy ravished the US East Coast. The storm may hit as many as 26 of the nuclear facilities along its path.
At the Salem plant in Hancocks Bridge, New Jersey, a unit was shut down Tuesday, because four of its six circulating water pumps were no longer available, PSEG Nuclear reported. The plant’s other unit, Salem 2, was already offline for maintenance when the storm hit.
haha and the Amish come out to bash nuclear power again... This is just a case of bureaucratic required reporting nothing interesting.
"The nation’s oldest nuclear power plant," Oyster Creek, OLD nuclear plants are an issue and those in danger areas. News ones placed in safe areas are just fine, the entire country should be running on nuclear IMO. Just get rid of the old ones.
