Default CCNPP is back up

The reactor is back up and running.............Gary



One reactor at Calvert Cliffs nuclear power plant in southern Maryland has resumed operations after electrical problems stemming from a leaky roof caused an unexpected shutdown on Feb. 18, a spokesman said Monday.

The Lusby plant's second reactor remains out of service for refueling, said David Fitz, a spokesman for Constellation Energy Nuclear Group, a subsidiary of Constellation Energy Group.

Inspectors from the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission went to Calvert Cliffs last week to investigate the cause of the shutdown. They will return to the plant in several weeks to review the company's reports on the incident and will produce their own analysis within 45 days, said Diane Screnci, a commission spokeswoman.

Company officials said melting snow on an electrical breaker caused loss of power to one reactor, which triggered the second to also shut down. Fitz said the reactor came back on line at 12:18 a.m. Sunday after crews completed repairs and verified there were no safety issues.

The unit was operating at 96 percent reactor power Monday afternoon, producing 850 megawatts, Fitz said.

I'm all in favor of nuclear power, but kind of makes you worry how some melting snow can shut down a reactor. The roof on my house is 17 years old and haven't seen a leak yet...knock on wood ...Don

Oh, and Gary....pay no attention to those burning crosses in your front yard.

The main reason for more nuclear power plants is overcrowding of fishermen at discharge pipes. This is causing MAJOR problems as some like to anchor and some like to drift. I tried to notify the Sunpaper that an announcement of the plant being back up would cause problems on our fishing board but they gave me an attitude. If you care to burn a cross in my yard, please do it in different areas as to melt the snow. Could you also do it in the evening so that I may recover any unburned wood as my stockpile is getting low. We are about two weeks behind and I didn't plan for that when I cut my wood in the Spring. Oh and my house is 46 years old and the roof did not leak either. I feel much better now...............Gary
