In the free market, the some 95% of institutional investors, the mom and pops don't own these stocks anymore...these institutional investor should yank all their money out of the corporation. It just doesn't fit with my ethics and morality...the dishonesty and lack of a full disclosure...I will not invest massive sums on money in corrupt operation as this. That is how it is suppose to work and not depend wholly on the NRC. See how disconnected we have become?
These guys don't change behavior unless their plants are taken away from them...they pay a terrible price. That is the only thing that is going to break this horrendous disrespect nation wide of the NRC and government in general.
***Because we trained these utilities over decades with a politically compromised government and weak fedural regulator...we really now need some "shock treatment" to gain control of the spoiled brats nuclear industry. You need a massive show of force. We really need to shutdown a bad plant over a insignificant issue...demonstrate the power of a federal agency. Show that the politicians won't get involved no matter how unfair it looks. Show the federal government and NRC are the alpha wolfs in town, you corrupt nuclear utilities need to tremble at the feet and beg for mercy at the feet of the NRC. The first peep out of you guys need to be the honest and full truth or you will be begging for food at the homeless shelter or jail.***

PLYMOUTH - Pilgrim Nuclear Power Station is now at the bottom of the performance list of the nation’s 99 operating reactors, based on its forced shutdowns and equipment failures, and in a category just one step above mandatory shutdown by federal regulators.Only two other plants in the country are currently in that category: Arkansas Nuclear One and Arkansas Nuclear Two. Those two, like Pilgrim, are Entergy-owned.The Nuclear Regulatory Commission announced the downgrade of the Pilgrim plant today. In a letter to Entergy, the Nuclear Regulatory Commission said the downgrade was due to the plant’s failure to adequately address the issues that have caused the plant’s high number of unplanned shutdowns.A supplemental inspection will focus on the plant’s shortcomings, “including human performance, procedure quality and equipment performance.”The results of the supplemental inspection will “provide the NRC with additional information to be used in deciding whether the continued operation of the facility is acceptable and whether additional regulatory actions are necessary to arrest the licensee/plant performance,” the NRC said.Entergy president of Entergy Wholesale Commodities Bill Mohl said the plant owner-operator just received the news of the downgrade. “Over the coming days Entergy will review the details of the NRC’s decision to consider what actions we need to take to enable Pilgrim Station to return to normal NRC oversight,” he said in an email.U.S. Sen Edward Markey, D-Mass., issued a statement on Pilgrim’s dubious status. “For decades, I have raised concerns about Pilgrim’s operations, security preparedness, the safety of the surrounding communities in the event of a nuclear accident, and the willingness of Entergy to dedicate sufficient resources to run the reactor safely,” Markey wrote…
