Bond In Investing Savings The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission on Monday sent a four-member special inspection team to the Salem 1 nuclear reactor to review the facility's response to a July 29 shutdown.

The plant is designed to accommodate the failure of a tube, said Glenn Meyer, NRC branch chief for the Salem plants. Thursdays meeting, however, focused on a new NRC committee report on steam generators that raises the question of whether a single rupture could cause a chain reaction of broken tubes. In the event of gross failure of multiple generator tubes, more water could escape through steam vents than the plant is designed to replace, said Dave Lochbaum, a nuclear safety engineer with the Union of Concerned Scientists in Washington, D.C.

Bond Investment Toledo Toledo The PSEG Nuclear plant on Artificial Island in Lower Alloways Creek Township, Salem County, lost its power source at 1:30 p.m. July 29, forcing officials to declare an "unusual event," the lowest of four emergency classifications.

The groups concerns center on corrosion and cracking of 1, 300 alloy tubes contained in four generators inside the containment vessel of Salem Unit 2. The generator tubes are nearly identical to one that burst 18 months ago at a plant in Indian Point, N.Y., leaking radioactive steam into the atmosphere. NRC officials said nuclear plants are designed to safely shut themselves down when such a leak occurs.

James Bond Trading Card Officials said a breaker malfunctioned in a switchyard at the site, causing an automatic trip of the Salem 1 reactor and the partial loss of off-site power to the Salem 1 and 2 reactors.

Eventually, the case was won and the floating power plant plan was finally abandoned. Had all this not happened, there would now be another, even closer, nuclear power plant to be concerned about in our area. And incidentally, one of our many points of objection made to the NRC a generation ago was the vulnerability of the proposed nuclear power plant to terrorist attack. John Williamson Linwood, NJ

Authorities are investigating a leak of radioactive water at the Salem I nuclear power plant, the state's environmental commissioner said Monday. The elevated level of tritium in groundwater at the Salem County plant poses "no immediate threat to public health and safety, " said Commissioner Bradley M. Campbell. But, he added, "we continue to have concerns about contamination of our water resources from this leak."

To date, 871 tubes have been plugged at Salem Unit 2. Meyer said PSE&G has a strong financial incentive to make sure they plug any tubes during refueling outages. If a tube breaks when the plant is operating, power production has to stop for weeks, he said. alloy tubing. But NRC officials have told Unplug Salem coordinator Norm Cohen that a direct comparison between the two generators is inappropriate, treated.
