NRC: Oconee Nuclear Power Plant Good to Go
Nuclear Regulators have given South Carolina’s Oconee Nuclear Power Station a clean bill of safety for 2009 and feel that the very minor Tritium leaks detected earlier this year is nothing the public should be worried about.
SENECA — The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission’s verdict is in: the Oconee Nuclear Station gets a clean bill of safety.
NRC officials presented the findings on the station’s 2009 operations Thursday at Duke Energy’s World of Energy.
Duke operated the Oconee station “in a manner that preserved public health and safety with a moderate degradation in safety performance,” said Andy Sabisch, senior on-site NRC inspector of the Oconee station.
Residents were recently given the opportunity to ask NRC officials questions concerning the Oconee Plant with many seeming to be in support of the the plants continued operations despite the minor issues over the past year.
