Unit 2 at Byron Nuclear Station (IL) Loses Power, Shuts Down - Unusual Event Level 2

The plant that produces power looses power, hmmmmm...

The wind pattern probably took the steam right over where I live in Park Ridge Illinois.

Ooops, guess that wasn't the right button to push on that board...

Notice – Byron, Illinois Nuke In Trouble

Loss of Off-site Power Shuts Down Reactor

San Francisco) Excelon Corporation announced Monday, Jan 30 that one of two reactors at Byron, Illinois had automatically shut down due to loss of electrical power from the electrical grid.

The two Byron nuclear stations generate almost 7 Billion Watts of heat, 2.3 Billion Watts is turned into electricity; the remaining 4.7 Billion Watts of Heat is wasted heating up the Rock River.

This is perfectly in line with the normal abysmal efficiency of the big nuke power reactors of at most 33%. Equivalent Billion Watt coal and/or natural gas power plants hit 60% efficiency.

Light radioactive gases are being released in steam from the turbine building.

Excelon says this includes radioactive Hydrogen. Excelon’s description would be funny if it was not an outright lie and murderous in its application.

“The steam contains tritium, a hydrogen isotope with low levels of radioactivity. Exelon, in a news release, said tritium occurs naturally and is found in virtually all surface water, although it is found in greater concentrations near nuclear reactors.” …Excelon Corporation


Tritium is vanishingly rare in nature. Tritium is manufactured by atomic bombs and nuclear reactors. Tritium is then used by the nuclear weapons labs in hydrogen bombs to boost the bomb’s destructive output a thousand times.

The simple fact of the matter is that radioactive hydrogen combines readily with water and all of us humans are 70% water.

What’s more, 80% of the molecular bonds in human bodies are hydrogen bonds. The radioactive hydrogen goes right through our clothes and skin to wreck havoc on a molecular scale.

Vets, Don’t Go to Byron, Il.

Because of this, I’d stay clear of the Byron, Illinois area for the immediate future. For VeteransToday readers, there is no good reason to go there.

All American nuclear reactors must be fed electricity from the electric grid from two separate directions. The outside electricity is used to power the Emergency Generators. It is a very interesting question, then from a military standpoint, of how both electrical feeds at the Byron Station were discontinued at the same time.

If a global system collapse includes loss of electricity and fuel for generators at nuclear power plants, what would happen? Meltdown of all nuclear reactors?

I wonder if our off planet visitors have the inclination and ability to help with this problem.

Those pesky peeps from the stars again shutting down the nukes, i told you guys. No one believed me.

I completely agree brother, but also wanted to say this gave me a giggle. Thank you.

I hope they shut them all down, keep the reactors cool and the radiation contained.
Nuclear energy is way too risky for us to handle.

I'm not sure I want to know how many are currently operating worldwide? This one had the backup generator work properly, but this does not instill confidence for so many reasons. Some plants in Russia dont cool with water so I'm not sure what a loss of power would do to those plants? Does this show how fragile the system is, with any interruption of power our plants have to vent steam? What of the other types, gas?

Had an extremely rare hardware failure in one of our servers at work, been getting some random reboots on my PC at home, electrical substation in Chilliwack BC goes up in flames with no known cause yet ... Massive solar flare last week ... hmmm.

[DreamsInDigital]

I had some weird restart behavior with my computer for a while. Found out part of it was the plug not being fully in the wall. And well for the other times....which ended up being 4-5 times in one day...well that's been left to figure out still.
