Possibly not a good thing: Nuke plant missing a few parts

Vt. Yankee discovers flood seals are missing | The Recorder

BRATTLEBORO — For the third time in 18 months, inspectors have uncovered missing flood seals at the Vermont Yankee nuclear plant…

Inspecting for flood seals has been a Nuclear Regulatory Commission priority since the nuclear disaster in Fukushima…

In last Wednesday’s instance, Entergy Nuclear failed to correct missing and faulty flood seals that were discovered last spring in underground pipes, Sheehan said.

He said Entergy Nuclear had hired a contractor to replace the missing seals, but the contractor had failed to do the job…

Oh well then, contractor's fault, no sweat. Let's crank this sucker up.
