Dead Ender Junk Plant Fitzpatrick: Ut-Oh from 85% to 70%?

update 8/9
The watchdogs also say the announcement comes while FitzPatrick is not at full power due to an electrical issue and oil spill that shut it down in June. "Nuclear Regulatory Commission told watchdogs that the issue was the plant’s Condensate Booster Pump C, which is experiencing vibrations and preventing the plant from operating at full power," their release says.

70% till end of life. Can’t you imagine all the steam and water leaks now in this poorly maintained plant.

Should these utilities swiftly shut down these dead-ender facilities for the good of the industry? Is dragging this on for years at a time good for the reputation of the rest of the industry.
