Repairs at Four Nuclear Reactors Are So Expensive That They Should Not Be Restarted
Fairewinds examines continuing problems at four US nuclear reactors, each of which have been shutdown for more than two years. Upstream dam failures continue to plague Ft. Calhoun, steam generator tube failures at San Onofre jeopardized Los Angeles. Crystal River's containment repairs burden Floridians with excessive costs. Finally, Arnie examines a new proposal by the Department of Energy to melt radioactive scrap metal and reuse it in consumer goods like knives and forks.

Pipes are not where they should be in drawings and calculations not correct at Fort Calhoun in Missouri. Upstream dams could fail (old infrastructure) causing a cascading fail resulting in St. Ouuis being waist deep in water. More than 35 feet more water than the flood just 18 months ago causing an upstream fail flooding of BIBLICAL PROPORTIONS resulting in the loss of ultimate heat sink. The entire midwest would be in jeopardy. (an inland tsunami). Nuclear power plants are NOT designed to withstand a dam failure.
