#GrandGulfNuclearStation, troubled #NuclearPlant, reemerges as hot topic as electric bills soar

Latest outage at #Entergy property comes as regulators press dispute over performance

"For years, regulators in #Louisiana, #Mississippi and #Arkansas have fought to force #EntergyCorp to pay refunds for alleged #mismanagement and problematic #bookkeeping at its massive #GrandGulfNuclearPowerStation, in #PortGibsonMississippi.

"Grand Gulf has now been offline for more than three weeks. It’s the latest in a series of outages at the plant, where unreliability has been a central gripe of regulators. The shutdown is forcing the utility to buy expensive natural gas to make up for the lost power generation, squeezing customers who are already facing skyrocketing bills - and adding another layer to the long-running dispute over Entergy’s alleged mismanagement of the power plant.

[...]

"The latest litigation, which began last year, centers around outages at the plant; the Grand Gulf was the least reliable nuclear plant in the U.S. from 2018 to 2020, according to figures compiled by the Nuclear Energy Institute [#NEI]."

I feel a bit icky. It seems @collectifission had been trolling my timeline before they attacked me. #ProNuclear trolls often use that tactic to intimidate #AntiNuclear activists. I had one who found me on the bird site, then harrassed my personal FB account, mocking the fact that my dog had died (one day I'll tell you all the story of EcoPup / EcoWife trolls, which I traced back to someone who worked for #NEI -- a pro-nuclear industry group. I learned a few things from my hacker buddies). But yeah, blocked the whole domain - @greennuclear.online . Not going to bother my admin about this, since they are busy with keeping Kolektiva running. But if they start popping up under other domains, doing the same shit, I will let the admins know.
