Title: Boxer: Regulators' 'heads should roll' over Diablo nuclear plant
Post by: Ksheed on Apr 16, 2015, 10:59
"Weeks before Pacific Gas and Electric Co. released a long-awaited seismic report about the Diablo Canyon nuclear plant last year, Nuclear Regulatory Commission officials had already drafted talking points declaring the plant safe from earthquakes, Sen. Barbara Boxer said Wednesday."

My B.S. detector just went off! Wonder why that was? Oh yeah! Boxer said something! That's what it was! She's retiring isn't she?

Yet, Barbara has no issues associating herself with Anti-Nukes who consistently spread fear through their blatant lies about Nuclear Power. The only heads that should roll are those of these idiots who do not understand Nuclear Power is the safest and cleanest way to produce massive amounts of base load power. Power that California (and many other places in the world) desperately needs. It's one thing to totally dismiss this fact because of your own stupidity......it's another thing to use these lies as a way to force fear upon the public. It's time these lying Anti-Nukes be held accountable for their fear mongering. A gas line explosion in NYC a couple weeks ago killed more people (2) than radiation from Fukushima (0). These Politicians and the public should hold the gas companies to the same standards as the Nuclear Industry.......since in one single explosion, luckily only claiming the lives of two people, natural gas has killed more people than TMI and Fukushima combined (ZERO)

The qualifications for a gas line welder are more stringent and they have to requalify every 6 months. To work as an operator is a 2 year training program and they have to pass quality exams every quarter. Gas utilities pay fines for everytime their pipes are hit. If there is a defect they have to fix it they cannot write it off. The QC on a gas line is harder than at a nuke.
Which gas company have you worked for ?

No a former nuke shift manager at two plants and training manager for a gas and fossil utility

She compared a gas line welder to a Reactor Operator.......hahahahaha!!

Oh, Barb....you are one funny chick

Oh and on my dumbest day I know more nuclear than you will ever know

Barb by the way is a moron

You do realize fossil plant control room operators go through a harder program than commercial ROs right ?

I don't care. Fukushima didn't kill anybody and not only did Japan shut all their Nukes down.....Germany has decided to shut theirs down also. I don't care if you prefer burning dirt now.

Pretty certain 2 operators died at Fukushima and the nuke has never killed anyone is a pure myth.

Btw fossil station aka NLO operators are better trained too.

20,000 people died in Japan, just like the two Operators.....from the earthquake and tsumami. Fukushima, has yet to kill anybody from the resulting radiation......and most likely never will.

You have no idea of they will or not...
Pretty certain a few dead bodies at Chernobyl might disagree.,,

But hey keep drinking the Kool aid

Chernobyl was much....much different. As a former shift manager you have to understand that.......or is this Barbara again?

You have no idea what was different or not. You are not qualified to
Judge the difference. Already proved you babbled on previous posts. Give it up. You are overmatched

A guy who finished top of his class in every school he has ever attended and wrote the licensing documentation for a steam generator and off site power replacement is hardly ignorant ... But go ahead and think so if you want to sport

Well it's been nice talking to you. Now I must leave since I need to go bed so I can wake up fresh and protect workers and the public from the deadly effects of ionizing radiation in the morning.gv.

That controversy has been years ago. I hope it will end now that NRC said that it was safe.

red the article. kind of disappointed it did knot cover welders or dirt burning operator training. got two axe watt training due fossil fool operators get for safe shutdown mode?
