(2) August 12, 2012 – Maryland, Calvert Cliffs – Shutdown
Operators of the Calvert Cliffs nuclear power plant in Southern Maryland have shut down one of the two reactors there because a control rod unexpectedly dropped into the reactor core, causing a reduction in power generation, a plant spokesman said Monday.
The 793-MW unit was shut after a leak was identified Aug. 12. Since July, the NRC has been monitoring a gradual increase of unidentified leakage at the reactor and sought safety a
A friend of mine who works for BC Hydro even said that he thinks the new smart meters may just be free magnetic energy devices, yet they still charge us as if it were hydro.

Not really, there is some major complaining going on all over BC about it on facebook. We are outraged at how the prices have literally gone up 4x what they were whenever one is installed, and they do it randonly, without giving you the choice of keeping it old school..
Not many know that they are off the grid free devices that shouldn't need meters since they are running freely by magnets though..
I think they would snap a bit more once the word gets out on that one.

As einstien said " Nuclear powed is a hell of a way to boil water."
