The Fermi 2 plant in Monroe County is among 35 U.S. nuclear reactors being advised to test their ability to shut down automatically after an earthquake. DTE Energy officials say the Fermi 2 reactor is routinely tested to make sure it's not susceptible to the problem. GE Hitachi Nuclear Energy says the probability of a reactor not shutting properly is very low. DTE spokesman Guy Cerullo says the utility "diligently" performs monthly control rod drive operability tests and quarterly tests in which all control rods are inserted at different times. The Monroe Evening News reports Tuesday DTE says it stays in close contact with GE and other nuclear energy facilities and that safety is its "number one priority."

1. What is this nonsense? You say nothing, your link is to a bunch of undefined data

and I notice your other post up on the board this morning is exactly the same sort of horseshit. Haven't you got anything better to do than make up scare stories?

3. No, it did not have an event of any kind.

Your title is simply incorrect, and your link has nothing to do with it. That plant has been advised to test its shutdown systems. That is all.

Nuclear power generation is not safe. It has never been safe and cannot be made to be safe.

That said, inaccurate posts on DU regarding nuclear power plants are not helpful.
