MANUAL REACTOR TRIP ON LOW STEAM GENERATOR WATER LEVEL
"At 1352 [hrs. EST], the Unit 2 CCR [Central Control Room] noted a trip of both heater drain tank pumps and entered Abnormal Operating Procedure 2-AOP-FW-1, 'Loss of Feedwater'. Prior to the event, Instrumentation and Controls personnel were performing testing on the heater drain tank level control system. Turbine load was reduced per plant procedures, however a manual reactor trip was initiated at 1355 due to an inability to maintain steam generator water levels. The team subsequently entered E-0, 'Reactor Trip or Safety Injection'. All control rods fully inserted. All safety systems responded as expected with the exception of source range detector N-31 and intermediate range detector N-35. N-31 and N-35 were declared inoperable. The auxiliary feedwater system actuated as expected and provided feedwater to maintain steam generator water level. Decay heat removal is via the steam generators to the main condensers. Offsite power and plant electrical lineups are normal. No primary or secondary code safety relief valves lifted. The reactor is in Mode 3 and stable. Unit 3 was unaffected and remains at 100% power. An investigation is in progress."
Unit 2 is currently at normal operating pressure and temperature. The licensee plans to issue a press release on this event.
The licensee notified the State of New York Public Service Commission and the NRC Resident Inspector.

Veteran weather modification expert Ben Livingston is a former Navy Physicist who briefed President Lyndon B. Johnson on the effectiveness of weather control back in the 1960's during the Vietnam era, when he was involved in cloud seeding programs that worked to slow down the advance of Vietnamese and Korean troops. Livingston asserts that asserts that hurricane control was a national priority of the government more than 40 years ago and that the technology was fully operational to control the weather at the time.
Livingston explains how for decades the US government has had the power to both lessen and increase the severity of adverse weather for their own purposes.
Dr. Livingston was assigned in 1966 from the Naval weapons research Laboratory to a marine fighter squadron in Vietnam. Instead of guns, the aircraft under Livingston's control were fitted with cloud seeding equipment. "My mission was to find clouds and seed them for maximum precipitation value" he stated.
Dr. Livingston presents evidence from the Stanford research Institute, who were brought into Project Storm Fury (a weather control program) in the late sixties as a third party, which stated conclusively that knowledge of how to stop hurricanes had been uncovered and that they would be directly liable should a hurricane hit and cause extensive damage and loss of life. Four decades later and Livingston exposes how the devastation caused by Hurricane Katrina could have been greatly minimized but was allowed to fully impact Gulf states for political reasons.
Having personally flown on 265 missions into the eyes of hurricanes, Livingston remarks that he was "disgusted" by the failure to lessen the impact of Katrina. Livingston's revelations that weather control has been a decades long program in which the US government has been deeply involved are particularly alarming given the abundant modern-day evidence of how chemtrails are being used to warp our environment in a secret geoengineering plot that threatens a myriad of unknown human health and ecological consequences.

These radioactive plumes from severe nuclear accidents were calculated by NRDC based on the actual weather patterns of March 11-12, 2011. The result on any given day will vary according to the type of reactor accident and on the prevailing weather patterns at the time.
These five nuclear power plants had emergency shutdowns in 2011:
- Calvert Cliffs - Lusby, MD (due to hurricane)
- North Anna - Louisa, VA (due to earthquake)
- Ft Calhoun - Ft Calhoun, NE (due to flooding)
- Browns Ferry - Athens, AL (due to tornado)
- Surry - Surry, VA (due to tornado)
There are 104 nuclear reactors in the United States. If one of them lost both primary and backup power for even a matter of hours, it could lead to a meltdown and an airborne radioactive plume. See what could have happened if a reactor in your area had a severe nuclear accident on March 11, 2011.info

Why U.S. nuclear power plants are vulnerable to severe accident with nuclear fallout
A future severe nuclear accident at a U.S. nuclear power plant is a real possibility. In 2011 five nuclear power plants in the United States lost primary power due to earthquake or extreme weather events, including tornados, hurricanes, and flooding. Fortunately backup power systems kicked in at these plants and a disaster was averted. But weather is not the only risk factor. Other risk factors include:
- Type of reactor – There are two types of reactors operating it the United States: Boiling Water Reactors (BWRs) and Pressurized Water Reactors (PWRs). Some experts judge that the design and structure of BWRs do not protect against the release of radiation during a severe accident as effectively as PWRs. The four reactors involved in the Fukushima nuclear crisis were BWRs. On the map, NRDC experts assigned a red flag to a reactor if it is a BWR.
- Age of reactor – Reactors were designed to operate for 40 years, yet the regulatory body that oversees nuclear safety in the United States, the Nuclear Regulatory Commission, has re-licensed some nuclear power plants to operate for 60 years, well beyond their originally engineered design lifetime. On the map, NRDC experts assigned a red flag to a reactor if the NRC has approved the reactor to operate for 60 years.
- Power level of reactor – The NRC has approved many utility operators to increase the operating power of their nuclear reactors, including for Fukushima-type reactors, and in some cases multiple times and to significantly higher power levels. These so-called "power uprates" push reactors beyond what they were originally engineered to do, and could increase the radiation hazard if a nuclear accident occurred. On the map, NRDC experts assigned a red flag if the NRC has granted a reactor a power uprate.

Yes Kim I remember , but I am also very much aware of the amount of people that died and suffered through radiation poisoning then and now with Fukushima. A few select may be saved but the innocent children still suffered and died and my heart aches for them.
Remember the 8 jesuit priests who were protected blocks from the bomb at Hiroshima thanks to their daily novena devotions to Our Lady and Jesus. They suffered no radiation poisoning while everything around them was leveled (their structure was damaged slightly though).
That is what worries me. The concentration of Nuclear Power Plants along the East Coast is mind boggling. They just have no idea what they are doing. The old story of it won't happen to me seems to be their motto. Where do they think they can go or hide if something like this happens. I mean even if you don't care about the people in the immediate area. No one is safe from Radiation fall out. The winds have no concept of borders or bounderies much less State lines. Here I made an addition to this post so you see what I mean
Nuclear Power plants are ticking time bombs - especially old ones!
We have no idea, as far as I can see, how to control significantly damaged Nuclear Power plants (think Chernobyl) and thank God for recent ET intervention (think Fukoshima).
Don't forget nuclear pollution (radiation) can spread beyond borders and over oceans!
This is not just a country by country issue but a humanity as a whole issue!
