WOW...All Hands On Deck, Entergy Is Getting SMACKED DOWN by NRC

Picture Snapped While Smoking A Dubbie Out Behind The Plant
First, no need to tell me I've been derelict in my duties, but if you knew everything that was going on here on the grounds of Indian Point, you would be occupied with more important tasks as well. OK, and with it being summer, and Bar BQ season, it's just a pain in the ass to keep up a blog. Did I mention that our Pit Bull Matilda had babies?

To business. Those damn anti-nukers are really pissing us blue collar types off with all their filings and noise. Even worse, with a major NRC meeting with the public next week to explain the relicensing process, we have problems with our application! We tried to sneak a few things through, and were successful with some of them, but the NRC has just issued a letter calling us on the carpet for some of the others. Holy Fisting Jesus, they (NRC) are supposed to be on our side in this battle.

At least they are not forcing us to properly inspect the reactor domes and steel containment. Seriously, I am worried about all that rust, not to mention the spray nozzles. As it is, we are having to sneak some workers in when the inspectors are not about to tidy up a few messes and spills that could get ugly if found out. God forbide that word gets out to the Green Nuclear Butterfly! We all thought it would fade away after a couple months, but that bastard was at Clearwater this weekend causing some serious problems for us. He is getting allies, and that is not good news.

On the good news front...the NRC seems prepared to let us slide on the known problems with plate B2803 in reactor 3 which is failing badly. Having to submit a safety analysis for this serious problem would not be in the best interest of our relicense application. If that plate goes, we are talking serious Chernobyl here folks, and we all know it...HELL, that why most of us have moved our families so far North into Dutchess county. We don't want to be anywhere close to the critical fall out zone when there is a major incident, let alone having terrorists attack the plant, because God knows our security would be overwhelmed in less than five minutes.

Bottom line...with this latest NRC letter, the opposition is going to be chomping at the bit come June 27th, so we need all hands on deck for this meeting. Whatever we do, we have to avoid Green Nuclear Butterfly's table, even if they are giving out really cool cans of Radioactive Energy Drink.
