re: Riverbend Station near New Roads/St. Francisville forced into emergency shut down

SCRAMs are pretty routine in the nuclear industry. There are so many safety and procedure requirements that even a simple temp value that’s too close to threshold will cause one. And that’s how you want it. They’re most common in start ups after turnarounds. It’s not really a big deal. Neither is the licensing violation. It’s a paperwork technicality that’ll be fixed. Every area of the plant is audited constantly. Engineering, operations, cyber security. Observations, minor violations, and non-cited violations are just a part of the nuclear world. Issues are found then immediately addressed. This story is nothing.
