What Is Wrong With Region I: A note to the NRC's Office of Inspector Generial

Actually, if we never had the Vermont Yankee fiasco, all that followed would never have occurred...

Oyster Creek: Old Design Issues in the Assessment Process  

There is no way the OC ERV yellowing finding is related to old design issues. The exposure time sounds Russian to me. I call it corruption. I call the OC ‘s ERV a red finding or worst…I call the collective last three inspection reports on the collapse of Oyster Creek as a red finding… 

Something is wrong with region one region 1: Pilgrim, Millstone and OC. 

And if you want to know the truth, as Vermont Yankee was collapsing, region I were yanking NRC attention away from Pilgrim towards the ends of protecting Entergy. As Oyster Creek’s life is ebbing away (2019), with Exelon in such financial straits and a host their plants fighting for their lives…will we see a similar soft gloves (corruption) NRC strategy with Exelon? Just as we’d seen in the Vermont Yankee and Pilgrim Washington two step?

'Operations Advised Precautionary Pilgrim Plant Shutdown in Juno (1/27): Higher Management said Go to Hell 

http://steamshovel2002.blogspot.com/2015/02/operations-advised-precautionary-plant.html

I know from a senior Pilgrim operations employee that in storm (1/27/2015) Juno, the operations department advised for safety reasons fearing a LOOP, they advised senior management the plant should take a precautionary shutdown and sit out the storm. One only hopes this was disclosed to NRC residents or the special inspection team and is not a cover-up? The ops people are pissed with senior management and severely mistrustful of them. The only question I got, why didn’t the ops people go the NRC before the storm stuck? Or did theyPilgrim should have had a special inspection or focused inspection for all the problems during the 2013 Nemo LOOP and the astonishing number of problems with the new leaking and dysfunctional SRV. If there was proper NRC attention for the Pilgrim’s SRV issues beginning within weeks of the 2011 new installation and 2013 LOOP, the 2013 LOOP was a full LOOP while the 2016 Juno LOOP was a partial...if the NRC would have focused the proper attention in the 2011 through the 2013...we wouldn't have gotten the 2015 LOOP and the resultant problems today. And we have the problems with HPCI and a SRV, among other problem in juno, plus equipment issues in the voluntary shutdown in storm Neptune.

I can make a case if Millstone seen the NRC slapping around Pilgrim in the 2011 thru 2013 time frame or vice versa...we wouldn't have the later Millstone or Oyster Creek issues. Right, what if the NRC did the right thing in the 2007 Millstone too small feed water isolation valve actuators, what if everyone though the NRC was a real and feared regulator??

I can see the writing on the wall, the House and Senate in the coming months are going to after the NRC like a rabid mad dog!

You get that don't you, I am not anti nuclear. I love my government with all my heart even with all its flaws, in spite of the flaws...I am extremely pro Nuclear Regulatory Commission.
