Event Text

UNUSUAL EVENT DUE TO SITE CONDITIONS PREVENTING PLANT ACCESS

"A hazardous event has resulted in on site conditions sufficient to prohibit the plant staff from accessing the site via personal vehicles due to flooding of local roads by Tropical Storm Florence."

Notified DHS SWO, FEMA OPS, and DHS NICC. Notified FEMA NWC, Nuclear SSA, and FEMA NRCC via email

***These guys are experts with playing the media with happy land nuclear stories (knowingly falsification) and gaming the rules. I just don't know why the media plays along. East to get and free stories. Maybe just no nuclear plant competence in the newsroom. 

So this is the first event notification on this the NRC's page. There no is reason for Indian Point's event report regulation wise to get on the site. This is the only on the site. Where is Brunswick's notification of Friday? They should have released theirs Friday.  

I generally believe the NRC has a information blackout  sounding Brunswick and the other southern nuclear plants. 

They will probably release a dump of nuclear plant event notification on Monday. Unless a plant is still in big trouble.
