Protect The Environment At The Ballot Box-Vote Green!

[Rick Rowlands]

I think you tried to push this BS onto us a few months ago.

There is no problem here.  First Energy shut down Davis Besse to perform an inspection.  That inspection found problems and they are now working to solve those problems.  This indicates to me that First Energy has a top notch team of engineers working there, and that they are taking the safe course of action.

Now had they not shut down for an inspection, or after an inspection find problems and decide not to fix them , well then you might have an issue.  But as it stands you have once again proven that you do not have even a basic understanding of the world around you to reach the conclusion that you did.

The Plain Dealer report says it all about problems at Davis-Bessie Nuke Plant:

As many as 16 critical parts in the Davis-Besse reactor lid are cracked or flawed, and the problem could get worse.

Engineers expect to find additional problems when they conduct a third round of high-tech inspections in the coming weeks.

The cracks can lead to radioactive coolant seeping into reactor lid, corroding it and ultimately leaking into the heavy-walled building containing the reactor. That's what happened to Davis-Besse in 2002.

The reactor has been shut down since Feb. 28 for what owner FirstEnergy Corp. initially thought would be a fairly routine refueling and safety inspection. There is no re-start date at this point because of the time-consuming repairs that have barely begun and the planned additional inspections..

And Ted Strickland, our "Green" Governor wants to build a new nuke plant in Piketon or in your backyard someday?

As Green Party of Ohio candidate for Governor, I say no more nukes for Ohio. Ted Strickland will say "Come on down, let's GLOW BABY GLOW!"
