Winter Storm Marcus: maybe be historic in nature. Kids don't go to school till Wednesday. Talking about 18 inches...
If I were them I would ride out the storm on the turbine by passes not connected to the grid. I don’t think that is a approved mode…once the LOOP they would have scram anyways.A far as fixing anything on the grid preventing the next LOOP…they only repair a tiny part of the system. The majority of the 345 lines supporting the plant are extremely vulnerable to winter storms. The onsite gear are extremely vulnerable…My guess on the NRC special inspection…it was done only as a means to support Entergy post storm. It was a NRC public relation stunt!!!
Boston canceled their schools tomorrow over this snow storm going on right now. I don’t think this snow storm winds are large enough to trip the plant…but we are at a much large risks with it happening in their weakened conditions. Imagine how this stupidity could play out in the media. They are all dummies anyway.
Pilgrim trips again in next blizzard…more equipment problems show up in the trip and afterwards.
This banging around the plant and grid components in LOOPs puts a tremendous amounts of stress on the components. The plant and lines are in a very fragile condition…I imagine poles sustained damage not yet see-able .
As a example, it is very stressful for a diesel generator to pick up loads so quickly in a LOOP. They have had LOOPs up the ying yang. They slowly increase picking up loads when testing these machines. I suspect these machines right now are damaged.
I suspect in next blizzard LOOP a diesel generator will fail…think about the emergency classification that will get you into…
