So many screwups, so little time. Conn Yankee 1989 operated 461 days straight. Set a world record for continuous operation and also continuous operation with failed fuel. Primary coolant activity was over 30 uc/ml (>3E+1)and the sample bottles were HiRad for several days after S/D. Mostly Iodine and Xenon.The A/S from S/G breach was high rad and oozed through the protective wrap and crapped up the MCA. CR tech didn't select bkgnd subtract and they thought there was iodine everywhere. We wore respirators in street clothes even though we couldn't take a protection factor. They already had an alpha problem, and this didn't add much to it because the fuel failure was pinholes and allowed gases to escape but retained solid material. I wasn't there for their previous events - ruptured fuel in the late 70s, ruptured PRT rupture disc in '85 that released reactor coolant to the stack, release of several hundred contaminated concrete blocks to several homes and businesses. Stay tuned for more thrilling stories from places like IP2, Yankee Rowe, Ginna, et. al. Back in the day when the term "radiological controls" was only a concept.
