Thanks for the correction. Outside Lacey, NJ.
NC is the code used for this map for nuclear events.

6. Power Plant Fire at the transformer. Nothing unusual
This event occured on 01.02.2009 at 10:11 pm: Officials are investigating a fire at the nation's oldest commercial nuclear plant. Exelon Nuclear says the fire was in one of the Oyster Creek nuclear plant's two main transformers. The company says the unit automatically shut down and there was no threat to the public. No one was injured. Plant operators declared an unusual event at 10:11 p.m. Sunday. The company says the fire was extinguished 16 minutes later and the event ended at 11:37 p.m. An unusual event is the lowest level in the Nuclear Regulatory Commission's emergency classification system. Oyster Creek is located in Lacey Township, about 60 miles east of Philadelphia and is 38 years old. Its owners are seeking to renew its license.)

7. Only if a small fire at a nuclear facility is a nuclear event.

11. Found this on DU last night
and it's become Disaster Crack in our house.
We were looking for info on the volcano in Japan that was about to erupt. After finding this link we were stunned to see how active volcanoes all over the planet are ~ in real time.

12. I've posted nuclear events from RSOE for some time now and


surprisingly some DUers poo poo events like this as just something minor that happens.

I think that nuke plants should not have fires and explosions period. and if one occur es it should be called a major event and investigated so it never happens again. you can't lackadaisical about things nuclear.

14. Half the plant has nothing to do with Nuclear
Edited on Mon Feb-02-09 01:59 PM by NutmegYankee
After the primary water cycle has offloaded the heat in the heat exchanger the plant is like any other steam generation plant. A fire in the electrical generation system is nothing. You're never going to get an electrical generating plant fire free perfectly.
