Rep. Markey seeks more data about cooling-tank concern at Mass. plant
The Nuclear Regulatory Commission needs to provide more data about a cooling-tank leak that prompted the shutdown of Entergy's Palisades nuclear plant in Massachusetts two weeks ago, said Rep. Edward Markey, D-Mass. Markey said he is worried because the issue was discovered in 2011 yet Entergy and the NRC did nothing to address it. A new NRC inspector has been deployed at the facility to monitor and study the measures taken to fix the problem, a spokeswoman for the agency said. Kalamazoo Gazette (Mich.)
