So this is my second shot with Palisades.
I am going to talk about where accidents comes from...the way we look at them now is not right.
They aren't component centric...they are organizational and across many organizations centric...mono thinking...

I'm talkin' about this Thousand Year Flood
See, I think the tsunami at a metaphor. I don't think the energy of the wave took the Fukushima Plants out...it was a structure of thinking exclusively for self interest that melted down the cores. There is a required way of thinking needed within the nuclear industry...there are boundaries that you are required to think in...you are out the door if you don't think like the group think. Actually it is going on in all of our corporations and businesses, and each of us are doing it.
Recent examples is the HB Robinson and Wolf Creek, the industry's massive problems with procedures...the wolf in 'The Story of the Three Little Pigs' would huff and puff and the blow grass house down. We are building a houses of straw by not telling the truth and we are building houses of stone by talking about the hard difficult choices and the truth.
It is this cubby hole thinking, the incessant and insane categorization to fit a hidden agenda, usually profit, bonuses and promotions centric...engineers and all professional people do this to a amazing extent... the idea of putting safety into a design bases that make no sense other than I get promoted for thinking like this...you turn a belief or a guess into facts and promotions.
It is trainable and teachable, they get into this mechanical think state, we put this in the category of certainty, we put that into the uncertainty category basically without any science or engineering basis, we record this if it favors our promotion and income, we make believe we didn't see that if crosses our selfish group think, to be one of the favored insiders...we create a picture or reality that is completely inaccurate and falsified based on the incentives the world provides for us. We think the incentives and status are doing the right thing. Our planet is begging for a higher calling in each of us, more than this falsified corporatized reality. It is in each of us more than the businesses and the corporations. It is a lie to buy our adult toys(cars, houses and clothing) system it is.
I don't know what to say about the jungle of survival with the fittest liars, where if we don't think like the group we will never work again and feed our families. I honestly don't know what is better, feeding my children or telling the truth. I know how astronomical the pain is by sticking to my guns, with the outcome in not feeding my wife and children. I know how hard it is and not many people can endure watching the pain and suffering of your love ones. I have watched my family endure me over decades and have observed the lack of material world I created for them. God must know some people can take a lot of shit. They tell me god creates the perfect world of growth for each of us...I keep asking him if he screwed up with me big time over and over again, and that when I make him laugh out the loudest. Some people must be compelled to tell the truth no matter who they hurt. Pathological truth tellers are we, and everyone hates us.
The outcome of all of this, a butterfly's wing flaps, a simple component goes haywire because it was aging or poorly designed...you get into a cascade accident where a assortment of other components and systems fails because of this little energy initially. Then people and organizations fail in similar fashion because the whole system was set up to be fragile because of this cubby hole and self interested categorization thinking. I choose to count this or not count that for no other reason because I get a short term incentive...pennies in my pocket or promotions ....then the energy of a flapping butterfly's wing get amplifies up to massive levels. It is the fragility each of us adds to the system with our little distortions and lying, and it does terrible damage to the planet.
A terrible accident keeps getting amplified that crosses many national boarders...and the energy of the first insult builds up to astronomic proportion as it crosses each boarder.
We ought to be thinking about this when we all falsify reality on our little things we all do. It is when we settle for a temporarily pleasing incentive, instead of doing the difficult work of telling the truth and doing the right thing. We need to do what is in the interest of us all. Is the income from our work really pay-to-lie...
That is the issue with the Japanese earthquake, the nuclear plant meltdowns...we are all connected together by our real harsh reality. We can all touch each other a half a world away, and we do touch each other. Its the little insignificant things we do, even in the little things we do, we are all connected together on our planet. I am here to tell you that. When we create this falsified image on a grand scale, we will touch each other in negative and painful ways with the amplification of the energy in a cascade accident.
I mean, that is the real harsh mentality of real life and death...that is the real world...when we act on the greater good we are really being selfish...cause we are really so interconnected now.

Subject 2.206: Non Testable Nuclear Plant Safety Systems at VY
March 25, 2011
William Borchardt
Executive Director for Operations
US Nuclear Regulatory Commission
Washington, DC 20555-0001
Subject 2.206: Request a emergency shutdown of Vermont Yankee because the Reactor Oversight Program is ineffective and Entergy has a documented history of a culture of falsification and thumbing their noses at reoccurring violations. It should be noted in this inspection period most of the fleet of Entergy’s plants are on fire and burning in the Gulf of Mexico with numerous NRC inspection findings including Palisades, Grand Gulf, River Bend, Arkansas One and Cooper.
Dear Mr. Borchardt,
In the 1942 movie Casablanca:
Vermont Yankee has many pretend and illusory nuclear safety systems. These incomplete systems are designed to the give the public a illusion of safety but in reality these systems have never been tested and the employees are completely unfamiliar with their operation. There are only partially tested and most of them are only tested by a partial simulation. A computer simulation doesn't cut it.
I submit to you a nuclear safety system is only one that has been completely tested under real conditions once and the employees on a continuing bases actually puts their hands on this system to operate it. If you are afraid to test nuclear protection safety systems because it might damage equipment and the employees are too inexperience to operate them, you are afraid they will damage equipment and delay making money, then by definition it is not a nuclear safety.
Oh baby, bring out the risk perspectives now. I eat the whole industry alive!
We know the industry has gone into many pretend and illusory non testable nuclear safety systems in a big way. How many are there?
Illusory and non testable safety systems at VY. This is a incomplete list :
1) The Automatic Depressurization System(ADS)...the main steam safety relief system.
2) The Vernon tie
3) The Service Water System and RHR system tie and the emergency cooling tower cell. This is the backup cooling system for the emergency diesel generators.
4)Alternate shutdown outside the control room. Discuss why you went to the tie instead of the SW/RHR cross connect.
5) ECCS functional every outage.
I like to talk about the VY 1992 Loop and impaired diesel generator cooling, and how I predicted it. You know the routine now:
1)Request all non testable safety system be immediately tested or the plant shutdown.
2) Request a outside the NRC investigation of this NRC behavior for tolerating this atrocious regulatory behavior.
3) Request top Vermont Yankee Management staff be fired and replaced before startup.
4) Request Entergy’s corporate nuclear senior staff be fired and replaced before the restart of the plants.
...5) Request the formation of a local public oversight panel around every nuclear plant.
...6) Request a emergency NRC senior official oversight panel with the aims of
reforming the ROP.
...7) Request a national NRC oversight panel of outsiders to overseer and report on the agency’s activities. There should be a mixture of professional academic people and capable lay people.
8) There is some heavy duty and exceedingly numerous findings of problems with Entergy plants’ this inspection reporting cycle...do an analysis of why this is occurring.
9) Request a list of non testable nuclear safety systems country wide!

Dear sir,
Based on the investigation of safety nationwide on the nuclear fleet...could I talk to somebody about LERs and part 21 reporting requirements? The theme is LERs reporting and part 21 requirements have been eviscerated and are generally not enforced in the last decade...
How do you report issues you wish the new safety task force would look into?
I would suggest the NRC blog...but they have lost any credibility with me in the recent past. Instead a blog for all of the people of the USA...you turned it into a extreme pro nuclear blog of exclusive people.
I would have some suggestions and criticisms concerning the task force if NRC officials would like to talk to me.

March 17, 2010
William Borchardt
Executive Director for Operations

Washington, DC 20555-0001
Subject 2.206: Request a emergency shutdown of Vermont Yankee because the Reactor Oversight Program is ineffective and Entergy has a documented history of a culture of falsification and thumbing their noses at reoccurring violations. It should be noted in this inspection period most of the fleet of Entergy’s plants are on fire and burning in the Gulf of Mexico with numerous NRC inspection findings including Palisades, Grand Gulf, River Bend, Arkansas One and Cooper.
In the 1942 movie Casablanca:
Rick Blaine: How can you close me up? On what grounds?
Captain Louis Renault: I'm shocked, shocked to find that gambling is going on in here.
Jan 18, 2011: my 2.206 Emergency shutdown of Vermont Yankee“The safety culture of the plant is impaired because of information inaccuracies and wide spread acceptance of falsifications.”
“I request Vermont Yankee to be immediately be shut down and that Entergy be prohibited from owning nuclear power plants... because Entergy doesn’t have the integrity to tell the truth about safety and nuclear power plant issues. Money and profits comes before truth telling and full disclosures.”
Could it happen here (http://www.reformer.com/localnews/ci_17622642)?
But Vermont Yankee was designed in the 1960s to withstand an earthquake of slightly above 6.0 on the Richter Scale, he said.
Vermont Yankee was designed to withstand a peak acceleration of 14 percent of gravity before entering into safe shutdown, said Becker.
The power plant also has a tie-in to the Vernon Dam, which automatically sends power to the plant if no other sources of electricity are available.
The outside of the Vermont Yankee Reactor building (especially the inside wall) shell is riddled with through wall large concrete cracks and never met it design bases earthquake requirement because of a construction defect (Chrystal River).
Say, a 6.0 earthquake could occur, a side of the reactor building could collapse inward and maybe pancake addition floors...this would destroy an assortment of vital safety equipment. The outer shell of the reactor building is not qualified for its design seismic event and you secondary containment does not meet technical specifications.
The cracks could widen and then the secondary containment function in the designed accidents would not operate as designed. The idea we could have a below design base seismic event and then Vermont Yankee could suffer significant and surprising damage. You know there is absolutely no wiggle room if we get a earthquake larger than planned.
That would put in pay, the whole design bases earthquake protection in the USA...the earthquake protection program for domestic nuclear power plants are corrupt. Then the public would lose faith in the NRC and the US government.
I request the NRC take immediate pictures of the worst cracks...there are tons of them ...and distribute them to the surrounding community on a emergency bases so the community could be informed of this risky and dangerous condition.
The last ditch emergency source to prevent a Vermont Yankee Fukushima nuclear plant meltdown depends wholly on the Vernon Switch-yard. As seen by the conditions of the yard...I had a prior 2.206 on this that the NRC blew off...this switch-yard couldn't withstand a earthquake or the I'll huff, and I'll puff, and I'll blow your house down " of the wolf in the 'Story of the Three Little Pigs'.
The power plant also has a tie-in to the Vernon Dam, which automatically sends power to the plant if no other sources of electricity are available.
These are the pictures I sent you before:

http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2628/3918212464_51873025d6_b.jpg
The equipment condition are atrocious as shown by the pictures, we don't have any idea of what the actual condition of the switchyad and conditions of the equipment in the dam.
In other words, the consequences could be a 50 mile evacuation zone and you want us to depend on the condition of this switchyard.
1) Request Vermont Yankee nuclear power plant and all Entergy nuclear power plants be immediately shutdown.
2) Request top Vermont Yankee Management staff be fired and replaced before startup.
3) Request Entergy’s corporate nuclear senior staff be fired and replaced before the restart of the plants.
...4) Request the formation of a local public oversight panel around every plant.
...5) Request a emergency NRC senior official oversight panel with the aims of reforming the ROP.
...6) Request a national NRC oversight panel of outsiders to overseer and report on the agency’s activities. There should be a mixture of professional academic people and capable lay people.
7) There is some heavy duty and exceedingly numerous findings of problems with Entergy plants’ this inspection reporting cycle...do an analysis of why this is occurring.

Fukushima Nuclear Plant Meltdown
Fukushima Nuclear Plant Meltdown
I am calling it...this Japanese nuclear plant is melting down and has core damage.
Their containment is over pressurized and is near failure.

The Future of the Nuclear Industry
Message 14 @ about 3 pm this afternoon.
I don't think anyone would make a bid on VY...cause they think the kooks of Hinsdale and Vermont would go after the fleet operation of the rest of your plants.
I think when VY gets relicensed it will just be a attention getter for Entergy and the NRC...everything is going perfectly on plan. I can't think of a better thing to do to bring attention to the situation.
Entergy has been heading into strong headwinds for a few years...their staff is getting sloppy fleet wide...god help them if they get into trouble with the spot light already up on them. It is all drawing attention towards Entergy and it a situation they never been in before.
They industry and Entergy has a very strong ideological gradient..it’s faith and political based, not facts... it been demonstrated they have some political power with the humpty and dumpty congressmen running around sending letters to the NRC...
I think a serious accident is going to take the whole lot them and their thought process out, and Obama is going to get wrapped up in it. An accident is going to occur, the media is going to get all hyped up creating unbelievable transparency pressure....and we as a nation are going to be disgusted with crap that has been going on under our feet.
Just like what is going on with Millstone, it is a perfect storm of employee errors...we are watching in real time a perfect storm developing over the nuclear industry. It isn't a storm...it is stupidity descending on them all.
Remember, god is on my side!!!
All these guys are looking to the past for answers...i see the potential future.

“The rest of the story” about VY Relicensing
“The rest of the story” about VY Relicensing
Lets not forget Paul Harvey...
What the NRC and Industry is terrified of is if the Wall Street people end up having no confidence with the NRC or the utilities in general. It is only about managing the public relations image of the nuclear industry.
So my brilliant security campaign has been spinning in the back ground, I hit a massive home run on speaking to the PRB of the NRC, the NRC is going to reject that also...then Senator Markey of Massachusetts this morning piggy backs on my security issue with a complaint about the secrecy of security issues with Pilgrim and Entergy. We think the NRC is in a object panic mode over this and they are running around like a chicken with its head cut off. We think my 2.206 and the senator Markey letter set off the panic with giving Vermont Yankee their relicense. I am really speaking to Wall Street...can you trust these guys with billions of dollars, remember all of the past lost of billions of dollars and all those cancelled nuclear projects.

Mr Kim,
Please include this article and my analysis about what it means as a addendum to my VY video security 2.206. I wish to included this into the record.
The agency doesn't realized it yet, VY security is dependant on the public oversight of plant security and the NRC. Security never come from secrecy...it comes from knowing what is out there and being 10 times better than the terrorist. I think our society and our experiences gives us magnitudes of advantage with being much better than the terrorist.
This is a example of a direct conflict between giving advantage to a terrorist by democratic ideals and making sure the agency and Entergy doesn't use national security to hide agency and Entergy sins...not to direct funds to executive bonuses and stock prices, but to direct it to the security terrorism fighting capability.
As i have outlined, I gave you direct examples where VY and the NRC has undermined national security in my past. In that, you hid sins that would create an embarrassment to you and to save the utilities pennies on plant security. I had directly intervene with the security related events at VY and as i have explained good employees came to me because they didn't trust VY and the NRC. If the pubic ever seen how stupid we were they would make us spend more monies on security was the theme.
The flip side of this on the big picture...the really big picture where you bureaucrats are afraid to reside...the easy way is to make America a dictatorship to your simpleton ideals of freedom and the foundations of our Constitution. If we really got into a severe national security event and it was uncovered that you were using national security and terrorism fighting secrecy as the excuse to hide the sins of the corporations' and business cheapskatism with the government being compromised, then this would lessen national cohesion in a time of a national security event. Trust in government is what we all depend on in times of a crisis....trust in government is the only cohesion that makes us the greatest country on the planet.
Our highest national security ideal is national cohesion in times of a severe national emergency. I think the agency's stance on nuclear plant security...the idea of putting security sins behind a impenetrable public barrier, it facilitates the spending of inappropriate funding on security related matters at our nuclear plants. It might further the new nukes in your heads (altruism abuse), but it is a deterrence to national security on the whole.
It has the direct potential to undermine our highest ideals of national security...trust in government...when it matter most. The NRC and its regulatory security related philosophy is a direct threat to national security. Are the terrorist coming, and the first instinct of the NRC bureaucrats is to hide under their desk in governmental secrecy that the terrorist are planing an attack agaisnt us?
In sum, I think the agency is playing the terrorism altruism abuse card: to your friends you will allow the release of security related information if it makes a plant look pretty for the camera; to you competitors and the community if the plant information makes the lot of you look bad, you will flip out withholding any and all information if it makes you look bad and incompetent.
To be absolutely clear, security safety and safety in general is directly related to public accountable and scrutiny...when you consider the proclivity of the human experience to break the laws when they are placed behind transparency barriers where their behaviors are not scrutinized by the greater community.
Again, I think it is atrocious that the NRC assumes the good people of the USA are the terrorist first in order to make you look good with nuclear plant security related issues.
You would rather use inappropriate security and terrorism related secrecy to give the nation the false appearance the NRC is maintaining the security of these facilities...than to use the democratic ideals of transparency that would drive the lot of you into the highest state of security and terrorism protectionism.
I agree it is a conflict, but the agency never sees secrecy as a deterrence to security safety.
