Nuclear False Alarm

I suppose it's a good thing he does commentary and not nuclear power.

VARIOUS PEOPLE ARE EMAILING ME, worred about the Watts Bar nuclear plant. It appears to have been a false alarm. Given that Watts Bar was closed for maintenance anyway, it pretty much had to be.

Reynolds seems to miss the point that you can have a coolant leak even when the plant is down for maintenance. Funny thing that they keep the fuel covered when the plant is down due to that thing known as decay heat. Plants still produce a lot of heat even when they are not in an active cycle.
