As describ...THANKS for the link. here is an excerpt<br />As described in a recent All Things Nuclear commentary, one of two emergency diesel generators (EDGs) for the Unit 3 reactor at the Palo Verde Nuclear Generation Station in Arizona was severely damaged during a test run on December 15, 2016. The operating license issued by the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) allowed the reactor to continue running for up to 10 days with one EDG out of service. Because the extensive damage required far longer than 10 days to repair, the owner asked the NRC for permission to continue operating Unit 3 for up to 62 days with only one EDG available. The NRC approved that request.<br /><br />Around May 18, 2017, I received an envelope in the mail containing internal NRC documents with the back story for this EDG saga. I submitted a request under the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) for these materials, but the NRC informed me that they could not release the documents because the matter was still under review by the agency. I asked the NRC’s Office of Public Affairs for a rough estimate of when the agency would conclude its review and release the documents. I was told that their review of the safety issues raised in the documents wasn’t a priority for the NRC and they’d get to it when they got to it.Majia's Bloghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04941091700194936591noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8850795848027608997.post-43231692039458319012017-06-15T15:37:27.202-07:002017-06-15T15:37:27.202-07:00Nuclear Leaks: The Back Story the NRC Doesn’t Want...Nuclear Leaks: The Back Story the NRC Doesn’t Want You to Know about Palo Verde<br />http://allthingsnuclear.org/dlochbaum/back-story-on-palo-verdeAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
