CALLAN NAMED SITE VICE PRESIDENT AT THREE MILE ISLAND GENERATING STATION
LONDONDERRY
TWP., Pa. (Aug. 3, 2015) — Exelon Generation announced today that
Edward Callan has been named site vice president at Three Mile Island
Generating Station. Callan has more than 30 years of nuclear experience
at Exelon. The site vice president leads a team of approximately 700
highly skilled employees and manages all aspects of plant operations.
Callan replaces Rick Libra, who was recently named site vice president
at Exelon’s Limerick Generating Station in Pottstown, Pa.
Before
becoming Three Mile Island’s site vice president, Callan served as vice
president of outage planning and services for Exelon’s fleet of 23
reactors. Prior to that role, Callan served as vice president of
nuclear oversight, vice president of mid-atlantic operations and plant
manager of Limerick Generating Station.
“I look forward to the
new role and working with Three Mile Island’s team of talented and
dedicated employees,” said Callan. “I’m committed to building on the
many solid relationships we have forged with residents, local officials
and community leaders in the central Pennsylvania area.”
Callan
holds a MBA from Drexel University and a bachelor of science degree in
engineering from Widener University. He was licensed by the U.S.
Nuclear Regulatory Commission as a senior reactor operator at Limerick.
Three
Mile Island Generating Station is located approximately 12 miles south
of Harrisburg. The plant produces enough carbon-free electricity to
power approximately 800,000 homes.

Incident Chronology at Peach Bottom Atomic Power Plant: 1974 - 2014
March 2, 2015 - Joseph Tolle awakened to see a refrigerator still plugged into the wall, swinging above his head. The refrigerator had been on a shelf situated 8 feet high in the security office in the watchtower. The former armed security officer described how that shelf and part of a wall collapsed, causing the refrigerator to fall on his head. "I woke up on the floor and was dizzy and had a headache. My back was hurting. I was knocked unconscious for a period of time," the 26-year-old from Lancaster testified during a Feb. 18 workers' compensation hearing in Lancaster. Tolle was working for Exelon Corp.'s Peach Bottom Atomic Power Station in southern York County when the October incident occurred<http://www.pennlive.com/midstate/index.ssf/2014/11/peach_bottom_security_guard_to.html>. The company had denied his initial claim and so Tolle is pursuing his claim before Judge Robert J. Goduto at a workers' compensation hearing. During the hearing, both parties presented Tolle testified about the incident, had his medical history combed through and explained his current condition. Tolle and Exelon can settle before the judge holds a final hearing in July.

Incident Chronology at Susquehanna Steam Electric Station in Berwick
Feb. 14, 2014 - The NRC issued a report of its quarterly inspection
of Units 1 and 2 for the period October through December 2013. In the
report, the NRC found three findings of very low safety significance
treated as non-cited violations. There also was a licensee-identified
violation determined to be of very low safety significance.
One finding involved procedures that could complicate an internal flooding event. Specifically, the NRC said procedures from PPL, the plant operator, “directed operators to enter a flooded room to assess the extent and source of the flooding,” an action that could flood adjacent rooms. PPL entered the matter into its corrective action program.
The second finding was PPL’s failure to ensure that all testing needed to demonstrate the performance of various systems was “identified and performed in accordance with written test procedures.” Specifically, the NRC noted, PPL “did not ensure that secondary containment integrity was tested in all required configurations.”

Incident Chronology at TMI from NRC: 1979-2015
Feb. 10, 2014 – The NRC issued a report on its quarterly inspection
of Unit 1 at Three Mile Island. The report covers the fourth quarter
from October through December 2013.
In the report, the NRC said it identified two findings of very low safety significance that were being treated as non-cited violations. There also was a licensee-identified violation, also determined to be of very low safety significance that was treated as a non-cited violation.
One NRC finding involved plant operator Exelon’s failure to establish “an adequate program that leak tested components penetrating the primary containment pressure boundary.” Specifically, the NRC said, Exelon “failed to perform leak rate testing of the reactor building normal closed loop cooling piping and failed to identify the degraded piping condition that impacted the containment isolation function.”

Study Says Psychological Health The Major Victim In Nuclear Accidents
I'm extremely skeptical of what is most likely more pro-nuke BS. Just
what they said after Three Mile Island when alpha and beta emissions
weren't even measured and to this day no one kows how much radiation was
released from TMI nor IAEA's former claim of 31 nuclear murders from
Chernobyl now upped to 4,000 or 8,000 projected out over time while the
2010 New Academy Of Sciences Book on Chernobyl radiation murders claims
with access to Russian and other former USSR Republic epidemiology that
985,000 nuclear murders had taken place there as of 2004.
