Nuclear Plants Criticized

Laptop Battery Federal regulators have asked the operator of the Salem nuclear power complex here to address "work environment" concerns they believe could lead to safety problems if left unresolved.

In the July 24 story "Nuclear dump OK lauded, criticized, " nuclear power group, Jersey Shore Nuclear Watch, said, "Since the plant (Oyster Creek) opened in December 1969, spent fuel has never been moved from the plant site. Transporting it will create a danger the public has never had to contend with before." This statement is false.

Thinkpad The federal Nuclear Regulatory Commission launched a "special review" of the three-reactor complex last year based on complaints from a number of people that management didn't want to listen to employees' safety and operational concerns, NRC officials said Friday.

According to the indictment, Jones would steal various IBM and Penguin computer servers from Verisign's warehouse in Virginia and sell them to Johnson. Johnson would then sell the servers to several individuals, who would sometimes place them for sale on eBay. As a result of this scheme, the indictment alleges that Jones and Johnson caused Verisign to lose more than $120, 000 worth of computer equipment. In the indictment, Jones and Johnson are charged in three counts with causing the interstate transportation of stolen property, namely IBM 330 and 335 servers, in violation of 18 U.S.C.

Microsoft The review led to what the NRC called in-depth interviews of numerous current and former employees "at various levels of the organization."

The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Agency said Thursday that it will give potassium iodide to states that want to stockpile the medicine in case of an attack against a nuclear power plant. The drug has been shown to protect the body's thyroid gland if taken soon after radiation exposure. Rep. Edward J. Markey ( Mass.), who has long criticized what he terms inadequate safety provisions at nuclear power plants, is among several lawmakers who have urged stricter security measures at the plants since the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon. Nuclear plants, which rank among the nation's most closely guarded facilities, are of particular concern because an attack could spew radioactive contamination over an area covering hundreds of square miles.

Laptop Computer The review's findings are outlined in a letter NRC regional administrator Hubert J. Miller sent this week to E.J. Ferland, chairman and chief executive officer of Public Service Enterprise Group. The company's PSEG Nuclear division operates the Hope Creek and twin Salem reactors.

Desktop Computer "If left unresolved," the situation "can create an unacceptable, chilled environment for raising issues and making appropriate operational decisions," Miller's letter said.

Notebooks In a statement, Ferland said the company has launched an "in-depth assessment" of the work environment and will "implement any necessary changes to continue to make progress."

Lenovo He added that the company reorganized management and appointed a new chief nuclear officer, Roy Anderson, last year to address the same issues.

Hard Drive "The NRC's letter addresses workplace environment issues that we have been fully aware of for a period of time," Ferland said.

Travelstar Located along the Delaware River about 40 miles south of Cherry Hill, the station is the nation's second largest nuclear-power complex, with capacity to generate electricity for 3 million homes. It employs approximately 1,800 people.

Gateway The NRC has given the utility 30 days to provide an action plan.

Laptop Parts Diane Screnci, spokeswoman for the NRC regional office in King of Prussia, Pa., said the commission hopes to head off any problems before they become serious.

Software "We believe the plant is operating safely and we have not identified any serious safety violations. We believe the plant can continue to operate safely," she said.

Hard Drives The UNPLUG Salem Campaign, an activist group, however, wants the NRC to close down the complex "until a full investigation of the safety culture problems at PSEG can be investigated and fixed."

Electronics "Safety culture at PSEG is poor. We've been saying that for months now," said Norm Cohen, a Linwood resident who founded the group.
