2/1/2012 — ANOTHER Nuclear power plant goes down = Leak contained in vessel

Strange indeed that we would see two Nuclear reactors shut down in one 24-48 hour period .  Illinois, and California — Also earthquakes near the Cuckoo Virginia nuclear plant.. and the Hanford Nuclear facility in Washington State.

(Reuters) – One of two reactors at the San Onofre nuclear power station in Southern California was shut down on Tuesday after a small leak was detected in a steam generator tube, but the incident posed no risk to the public or plant workers, the facility operator said.

The reactor unit, which normally provides 1,100 megawatts ………

“A power failure at a nuclear reactor in Illinois has been traced to a failed piece of equipment at a switchyard that delivers power to and from the plant, the company said Tuesday.

***”The steam contains low levels of tritium, a radioactive form of hydrogen, but federal and plant officials say the levels were safe for workers and the public.”
