Quad Cities bad fuel
- Mindy, I am having a little difficulty understanding why there has been so much fuel damage at Quad Cities 1 and 2. What is it a secret and if fares badly for the industry -and are you are trying to protect them? I can't understand why this problem isn't completely characterized -and explained in the inspection reports. Through both plants, what operational changes have occurred? Will they have more contamination problems inside piping system and throughout the plant leading to slower outages -and more expensive? With the stuck open relief valve on unit two -was there abnormal radioactive problems during the accident. I do remember that in the stuck open relief LER with it leaking-this created a radioactive concern near the down-comer. Just how much trouble are these plants having with radioactive concerns with leaking fuel?
A large warning is when you have two serious issues like leaking fuel and maintenance issues like broken relief's flipping open happening at the same time and there are many other issues going on too. It's very troubling.
