Then discovered, due to management subverting a previous mineral removal, that the containment dome was gone. Completely eaten down to the last quarter inch.
Who owns that nuclear plant in Lacey Twp? First Energy. Let's see. Either we do what is required for safety? Or are $20,000 sexting parties planned for the regulators? First Energy, the company that intentionally created a 2003 Northeast blackout. And other
More Firsts for First Energy.
Blaming the entire nuclear industry for problems most often found in the industry's bad Apples may be misguided. Literally every government oversight agency that deals with First Energy finds major problems or has been subverted from enforcing regulations due to interference by higher powers.
First Energy has repeatedly threatened to shut down Oyster Creek saying the plant is too small to be productive. Then quietly rescind the threat when regulations are relaxed or other 'better conditions' appear.
This is a company so corrupt that the NJ governor even found them running equipment at 110% capacity. Then blamed others for equipment failure or regional blackouts. They would not even fix grounds until towns passed ordinances - $5000 per day fines for every day people were being shocked in their swimming pools. Only then did First Energy suddenly find solutions to defective earth grounds.
Does the industry have serious regulatory problems. Worry more about nuclear power plants operated by the same company that also intentionally created an August 2003 Northeast Blackout.
A lesson from Japan. The plants are not dangerous. Failures are directly traceable to plant management. Lacey Twp is home to a nuclear power plant with so many examples of the industry's worst management.
