Junk Plant Salem 1 Stuck At 12 % since Thursday

Update 7/18

I remember the troubles I had with my first car. It was a 1965 two door Ford Comet. I loved this car. I was always repairing the dam thing. The end came when I kept blowing out alternators. I was on my third one. I had a short and nobody could find it. That is how I took it to the junk yard. It was the only car I cried over junking it.
 
Basically two plant shutdowns and a prolonged period of 12% power over a undiscoverable intermittent large electrical generator short. They are going to go broke if they keep it up!!! That is what is keeping them at 12%. They have already reached the special inspection threshold over scams and down powers for the quarter. This is startling incompetence over detecting what caused the resulting trips and figuring out where the short is coming from.

Bet you they are at least losing a million dollars a day plus the expensive contractors!!!  

The chickens are coming home to roost at the second largest nuclear facility in the USA...

Update 7/15

So Salem 1 has been stuck at 12% for a week. I don't think prolonged operation at low power is safe. They got unit 2 in a prolonged baffle bolt shutdown. We are going to see a lot more problems from these guys. They are not taking care of their plants sufficiently.  

So this is after their double header leak and:

The Salem 2 reactor automatically tripped off-line on June 28 after its generator shut down because of an alarm indicating some sort of problem.
After extensive troubleshooting, it was determined that rainwater had leaked through gaskets on the electrical system for the generator. The area where the problem was found is located on the plant site between the generator and the main transformer.
Operators installed an enhanced monitoring system to detect any future problems before they cause the plant to shut down.
Operators initially brought the plant back on July 4 for about eight hours, but when there was an indication there still might be a problem in the generator, the plant was shut down and new inspections conducted, according to Delmar. 

Unit 1 at Talen Energy's Susquehanna nuclear power plant has returned to the regional power grid after being shut down for three weeks to address a water leak.

Operators reconnected Susquehanna Unit 1 on Monday, according to a Talen news release. The Unit 1 reactor was manually shut down June 6 to address a water leak inside the unit's containment structure.

During an inspection of the area, Susquehanna staff identified and subsequently reported a second minor leak from a pipe beneath the reactor vessel to the Nuclear Regulatory Commission.

"Throughout the maintenance outage, our nuclear professionals maintained their primary focus on keeping each other and the surrounding community safe," said Jon Franke, site vice president. "We have worked effectively with our equipment vendors and other industry experts to develop and implement the plan to complete repairs to return the unit to reliable service."

Unit 2 at the plant remained fully operational, Talen said.

NRC spokesman Neil Sheehan said Tuesday that Unit 1 had been experiencing "very minor leakage" from a tube guide at the bottom of the reactor vessel. A tube guide is where a device used to measure power levels is inserted into the vessel.

Talen completed a weld overlay to repair the leakage, and Sheehan said agency officials did not identify any concerns with the fix.

Both Sheehan and Talen previously said
