Mike Mulligan's List of Zombie Nuclear Power Plants

Basically 14 16 known plants who are severely financially threatened.

We are talking about a terminus amount of grid capacity.

That is about a amazing 15% of our nuclear fleet capacity nation wide...

We are facing this worsening condition for many years...

Under severe economic pressure. One big embarrassing accident away from a shutdown! My main beef with nuclear power is these plants don't get enough funding keeping up with the best maintenance and equipment updating. Everyone has to settle for less.

Basically any merchant nuclear plant is at tremendous risk of a shutdown.
