Junk Arkansas Nuclear 2 Cat 4 plant At Half Power For A Week

The trembling under out feet. What implications does this have for the grid and nukes?

Will they become another FirstEnergy? Declare bankruptcy and dump their nuclear plants. Contracts all broke. Effectively they are bankrupt now.

I'll bet you there will be a massive stampede out utility bonds and stocks when the first walking dead declares bankruptcy.

A Black Swan level event...  

It is a cat 4 plant like Pilgrim...

I'll bet you if any plant was undergoing the intense NRC intervention as Pilgrim they would have a 80% average capacity. They can't have in the high 90% capacity factor without breaking rules... 

Why is the southern Entergy fleet more capacity factor impaired than the northern boys. There has got to be a two tier system here somewhere?

You get it, its a regulated plant. The politicians will make the rate payer pick up the tab. I guarantee the advantage of a regulated plant is coming to a end.
