Between the 1970s and 1996, Dresden was fined $1.6 million for 25 incidents. June 5, 1970: A false high pressure signal due to instrument failure on the Dresden II reactor pressure control system caused turbine valves to dump steam (a "turbine trip"), which in turn automatically initiated a SCRAM. Void collapse in the reactor water caused the ...
A current limiting reactor is used when the prospective short-circuit current in a distribution or transmission system is calculated to exceed the interrupting rating of the associated switchgear. The inductive reactance is chosen to be low enough for an acceptable voltage drop during normal operation, but high enough to restrict a short ...
The Byron Clean Energy Center is a nuclear power plant located in Ogle County, Illinois, 2 miles (3.2 km) east of the Rock River.The reactor buildings were constructed by Commonwealth Edison and house two Westinghouse Four-Loop [2] pressurized water reactors, Unit 1 and Unit 2, which began operation in September 1985 and August 1987 respectively.
A full PID system can be used, but typically the derivative component is removed (or set very low) to prevent noise from the system or measurements from causing unwanted fluctuations. [28] A STATCOM may also have additional modes besides voltage regulation or VAR control, depending on specific needs of the system.
President-elect Donald Trump, after rejecting House Speaker Mike Johnson's plan to avoid a government shutdown, worked the phones on Thursday, showing wavering confidence in Johnson and claiming ...
A federal judge said Kraft Heinz must face a proposed nationwide class action alleging that it defrauded consumers by claiming its Kraft macaroni and cheese, one of its best-known products ...
To prevent electric power distribution network damage, each station along the network is protected with circuit breakers or fuse cutouts which turn off power in the event of a short circuit. These protection solutions present a major problem when restoring power immediately following transient events, because repair crews need to manually reset ...
26 FBI informants at Jan. 6 events, but few on assignment. In total, FBI field offices assigned three confidential sources to report on people under investigation on Jan. 6, and the two who didn't ...
