No, those transformers at ALL power stations are set by very, very strict electric volt-distance requirements between the heavy cables. All such transformers are built the same way - at nukes as at gas turbines or coal or the old oil-fired plants. You just don’t hear about a non-nuke transformer problem.
Terrorists DID shoot up a nuke transformer a few months ago. That attack (by multiple armed men, all well coordinated was promptly shut up in the news - but no one has been found responsible. No group has been publicized as claiming responsibility either! To me, it sounds like a test assault. Oboma can’t allow more terrorist attacks in the US, can he?)
Thank you for the info. Which NPP was attacked? I never heard about it.
I see there’s been another fire at a NPP on March 9th (yesterday). This time it was in the turbine room of the WATTS BAR nuclear power plant (Tennessee).
“Watts Bar Unit 2 declared an Unusual Event at 0342 EST based on a fire greater than 15 minutes in the turbine building - 2B Hotwell pump motor. The fire was extinguished by 0401 EST, at the time of notification. Unit 2 is currently shutdown in Mode 5 making preparations for startup. No offsite assistance was requested. All personnel are accounted for and there are no personnel injuries reported.”
