High Radiation Triggers Alert at Browns Ferry Nuclear Power Plant
April 11th, 2016Via: Times Free Press:
The Tennessee Valley Authority activated the lowest of four emergency notifications Wednesday afternoon when high radiation levels were detected in a main steamline at the newest reactor at the Browns Ferry Nuclear Power Plant in Alabama.
TVA detected the high radiation condition around 3:35 p.m., central daylight time, on Wednesday. But the notice of an unusual event was cleared almost immediately. TVA spokesman Jim Hopson said the high radiation levels were quickly lowered to acceptable levels and there was no risk of radiation exposure or other safety problems to the public or plant workers.
Like magic the “high radiation event was cleared almost immediately.” No explanation of how they did that only than a verbal “we fixed it.” Sure you did. Wonder what the radiation meters of local citizens are saying to the contrary. Just asking.
