Junk Plant Salem 1 & 2: Indication Of Rough Seas For The Nuclear Industry

I see this as a indicator of heighten risk of a nuclear plant meltdown. Or an accident that's going to be on the doorstep of a meltdown, could turn into meltdown. At best, the Salem and Hope facility will tar the industry's reputation

As a professional, the reliability of the operation of the Salem and Hope facility is a disgrace to the nation. An indication of the problem with Hope Creek is their Safety Relief Valves. They can't quickly clear weak designed SRVs from the plant. For the last few years, this facility is in deep decline and this indicates the system can't quickly clear emergent problem across the board. This facility's operations has been chaotic and erratic. I think this is a indicator for the industry in general. The whole industry is moving towards the condition of Hope Creak and the Salem units.

I remind everyone we don't have the god's eye view of the safety of the massively complex organization and the massively complex machine, components and parts and material conditions. Outsider only see a sliver of the extent of these problems. One plant may have up to a million or more components...this is the second largest nuclear facility in the USA with three plant. The complexity here is mind boggling. This is why I spend so much of my time studying the documents of this facility. I am just a tea leaf reader.
