Fucking Obama can't even keep nuclear reactors running.
PLYMOUTH, Mass. � The Nuclear Regulatory Commission says a power
plant in Massachusetts has lost power and shut down during a
massive snowstorm.
The NRC says the Pilgrim Nuclear Power Plant in Plymouth
experienced an automatic shutdown at around 9:15 p.m. Friday
after losing off-site power. Spokesman Neil Sheehan says the
plant has declared an unusual event, which is the lowest level
of emergency classification.
Sheehan says that the reactor shut down without any problems and
that backup generators are powering plant equipment.
The NRC says there�s no threat to public safety.
The shutdown came as a major snowstorm began clobbering the New
York-to-Boston corridor, knocking out power to more than 300,000
customers in Massachusetts.
