Nuclear Plant Under 'Unusual Event' (Calvert Cliffs Nuke Plant in MD)

Constellation Energy Nuclear Group spokesman Mark Sullivan released a statement shortly before 2 a.m. saying the Calvert Cliffs facility is safe and stable. He said an "Unusual Event" has been declared, which is the lowest of four emergency classifications by the National Regulatory Commission.

The facility’s Unit 2 is stable and operating at 100 percent power.

Sullivan said heavy wind gusts associated with Hurricane Irene blew a large piece of aluminum siding from a building, which then struck the facility's man transformer.

The Unusual Event status will be lifted upon completion of the state's emergency response plan.

Sullivan said all employees were safe, the facility is safe and there is no impact to employees or the facility's neighbors. There is no threat.

8. «...which then struck the facility's man transformer.» Nuclear sex change operator?
«....which then struck the facility's man transformer.

«The Unusual Event status will be lifted upon completion of the state's emergency response plan.»

Which means that Maryland has had no response for a nuclear sex change operator, man transformer? The land of Mary has no response to its nuclear family?

Is that National Regulatory Commission or Atomic Energy Commission or Nuclear Regulatory Commission?

If unit number two works, did they castrate unit number one?

They do seem to have a large amount of wbal,...s.



How often do they declare an usual event?

How about the North Anna Mineral, Virginia earthquake?


«There is no threat.»? If that were true, then I would not have much of an announcement to read. If there is no threat, then they would not need to insist that there is not a threat.

So, Fukushima, which means go good fortune island yourself, & all of us. Fukuyama is mountin' of passing wind.




Is democraticunderground in land of Mary? Much of this morning did du crash? Did it get democraticunderwater or democraticunderwind by Eyerene, lose an eye renal failure?
