Fluor Idaho inspects 1970 s era storage vaults

Fluor Idaho inspects 1970’s era storage vaults Fluor Idaho A shield plug is removed to gain access to a Peach Bottom spent nuclear fuel basket at INTEC. HI IDAHO FALLS, Idaho (KIFI/KIDK)-An inspection of “high risk” fuel canisters stored in underground vaults at the Idaho National Laboratory has determined they continue to be safely stored.   The canisters were shipped to INL following closure of the Peach Bottom Atomic Power Station, Unit 1, in 1974.  Due to concerns of corrosion to fuel cannisters in long-term pool storage, the canisters were placed in carbon-steel vaults at INTEC. A mobile boom crane was used to lift the fuel baskets and capture video footage of the bottom of the baskets, along with fuel package tops, and accessible surfaces, including interior surfaces of the vaults.

US green energy efforts hinge on aging nuclear plants

US green energy efforts hinge on aging nuclear plants Quartz 12/19/2020 © Provided by Quartz About 25 miles south of Miami, there’s a nuclear power plant perched on a low-lying ridge tucked between the swamp and the sea. Its two reactor facilities, built in 1972 and 1973, don’t exactly blend in: The drab, concrete cylinders squat above the blue waves of Biscayne Bay and the muted green expanse of the Everglades both delicate ecosystems protected as national parks. Thousands of crocodiles patrol an adjoining labyrinth of manmade cooling canals. Dubbed Turkey Point, the plant powers nearly a million south Florida homes and has been humming along for nearly half a century. If all goes according to plan for Florida Power & Light (FPL), the plant’s owner, it’ll keep running at least until the early 2050s, remaining unchanged while an expected two feet of sea level rise slowly transform the surrounding landscape.
