Junk Plant Grand Gulf: Extraordinary Erratic Startup From Last Refueling Outage

Reposted again from 1/9

Update Jan 12

So River Bend and Grand Gulf are still shutdown..

Pilgrim below is a example of a normal good startup. Remember the full force of the designed systems core protection is high in the power level. At 100% your are protected most(negative temperature or void coefficient).

Pilgrim's recent startup.

Update Jan 9

I'll make the case this kind of "outside the box" operational behavior is setting up the probability of having a nuclear accident we never seen before.   

They shutdown last night. It wasn't a scram but a controlled shutdown. They weaselled out of a report on this and more inspections.

Just saying, River Bend, Pilgrim and Grand Gulf have had recent abnormal shutdowns. Only Pilgrim had a really abnormal and dangerous scram in poor weather. What does this say about Entergy?  

(Jan 31: Plant scram on Jan 30. Man am good.) My prediction on Jan 2. A week later, it comes true.

"I have made these prediction so many times, and they always come true. I have got to be wrong eventually. I give them a month before they have a big down power or scram???"

Update Jan 8

Not a good weekend. The length of these constant power changes is unprecedented and a risk to safety.

I would count all these power garbage as constituting a big down power event.
