TONIGHT WE TAKE A CLOSER LOOK
AT AN INSPECTION HAPPENING AT
THE MILLSTONE POWER PLANT
CONTRACTORS ARE SEARCHING FOR
DEFECTS IN A CRUCIAL PIECE OF
EQUIPMENT. NEWS 8'S SCOTT
MCDONNELL AND KELLIANNE JONES
SHOW US HOW THIS IS TIED TO AN
INTERNATIONAL INVESTIGATION.

IF YOU SEE RIGHT HERE THERE'S
A SMALL INCLUSION ON THAT METAL
THIS IS WHAT CONTRACTORS ARE
SEARCHING FOR.SO WHAT DOMINION
IS GOING TO BE DOING IS
LOOKING FOR USING ULTRASONIC
TESTING RIG VERY SIMILAR TO A
MEDICAL ULTRASOUND JEFF
SEMANCIK (SE-MAN-SICK) IS THE
DIRECTOR OF THE RADIATION
DIVISION FOR THE STATE
DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY AND
ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTIONSEE IF
THEY CAN FIND ANY OF THE
SPECIFIC CRACKS OR
IMPERFECTIONS IN THE METAL
THAT COULD LEAD TO CRACKS
ULTIMATELYTHOSE IMPERFECTIONS,
AS HE CALLS THEM, MAY BE ON
UNIT TWO'S PRESSURIZERIT IS A
KEY PIECE OF EQUIPMENT AND
IT IS INTEGRAL TO SAFETY BUT
NEW INFORMATION SHOWS THAT IT
MAY BE DEFECTIVE. I THINK
WHAT THE PUBLIC CAN BE ASSURED
OF SAFETY IS TO RECOGNIZE THAT
WE WORKING WITH DOMINION IS
DOING THE RIGHT ACTION TO
CONFIRM THAT SAFETY FACTOR.THE
PRESSURIZER AT MILLSTONE WAS
MADE IN FRANCE AT A
MANUFACTURING FACILITY CALLED
CREUSOT FORGE (CREW-SEW FORGE)
LATE LAST YEAR THE FRENCH
GOVERNMENT STARTED
INVESTIGATING IT FOR FORGING
DOCUMENTS ABOUT THE QUALITY OF
THEIR PRODUCTSTHEN THE NRC
CAME OUT WITH A LIST OF U.S.
PLANTS THAT HAD LARGE
COMPONENTS THAT WERE
MANUFACTURED IN THE SAME
FACILITY IN LE CREOSOT FORGED
IN FRANCE AND ONE OF THOSE WAS
THE PRESSURIZER IN MILLSTONE
UNIT 2. THERE ARE 16 OTHER
PLANTS ACROSS THE U-S WITH
PARTS MADE AT THAT FACILITY IN
FRANCE YET MILLSTONE IS THE
ONLY ONE SO FAR DOING AN
INVESTIGATION THE STATE OF
CONNECTICUT CAME TO US WITH
QUESTIONS, WE HAD SOME
DISCUSSIONS WITH THEM, AND
ULTIMATELY WE DECIDED TO DO
SOME TESTING WHILE WE ARE SURE
THE PRESSURIZER IS FULLY
OPERATIONAL AND WILL REMAIN
SO, WE WANTED TO GIVE
OURSELVES ADDITIONAL ASSURANCE
MILLSTONE POWER PLANT
SPOKESPERSON KEN HOLT SAYS
THAT THEY'RE GOING THE EXTRA
MILE AND INDUSTRY EXPERT DAVE
LOCHBAUM (LOCK-BALM) WITH THE
UNION OF CONCERNED SCIENTISTS
SAYS THAT'S THE RIGHT APPROACH.
DOMINION HAS A REPUTATION OF
NOT WAITING FOR THE NRC TO
PUSH THEM TO CHECK FOR SAFETY
BUT VOLUNTARILY ENSURE THAT
THEIR PLANTS ARE SAFE.
CONNECTICUT
OFFICIALS ENCOURAGED MILLSTONE
TO DO SO AS WELL.YOU HAVE TO
HAVE THAT CONFIDENCE IN SAFETY
FUNCTIONS OF ALL THE
COMPONENTS FOR SOMETHING OF
POTENTIAL CONSEQUENCES OF A
NUCLEAR POWER PLANT.
CONNECTICUT'S NUCLEAR PLANT IS
A STEP AHEAD OF OTHERS AROUND
THE COUNTRY BUT ACTIVISTS
THINK MORE SHOULD BE DONE BY
FEDERAL REGULATORS, THE
NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION.
PLEASE ASSURE US THAT THESE
ARE NOT NUCLEAR LEMONS IF LEFT
UNATTENDED CAN LEAD TO
AVOIDABLE BUT TERRIBLE
CIRCUMSTANCES NANCY BURTON'S
ORGANIZATION CONNECTICUT
COALITION AGAINST MILLSTONE IS
PARTY TO A NATIONAL PETITION
DEMANDING THAT ALL PLANTS WITH
PARTS FROM THIS FRENCH FACTORY
BE SHUT DOWN FOR INSPECTION.
IT IS A CRISIS BECAUSE ANYTIME
YOU HAVE A KEY SAFETY
COMPONENT IN A NUCLEAR PLANT
THAT MAY HAVE DEFECTIVE PARTS
THAT RENDER IT MORE
SUSPECTIBLE TO CRACKING
BRITTLING AND CAN'T BE
TOLERATED
BURTON'S ACTIVISM AGAINST
MILLSTONE BEGAN WHILE SPENDING
SUMMERS ON MASON'S ISLAND WITH
HER FAMILY. IT WAS A WONDERFUL
PLACE TO HAVE MY CHILDREN COME
AND PLAY IN THE SUMMERTIMEBUT
SHE SOON DISCOVERED THAT SHE
HAD A NEARBY NEIGHBOR THAT
MADE HER UNEASY. UNFORTUNATELY
I HAD THE OCCASION TO READ
EVERY NOW AND THEN IN THE
LOCAL NEWSPAPER ACCOUNTS ON
MILLSTONE AND I QUICKLY BECAME
FAMILIAR WITH WHAT MILLSTONE
WAS AS SHE PREPARES
THE COTTAGE FOR HER
GRANDCHILDREN THIS SUMMER HER
MIND IS ON MILLSTONE. I NEVER
COME HERE WITHOUT THINKING
ABOUT IT EVEN AS SHE TRIES TO
CATCH A JELLYFISHSHE IS
THINKING ABOUT HOW JELLYFISH
ARE KNOWN TO CLOG PIPES OF
NUCLEAR REACTORS FORCING
SHUTDOWNS.JELLYFISH HAVE SHUT
DOWN NUCLEAR REACTORS. GOOD
FOR THEM. WHILE HER OWN DREAM
OF FORCING A SHUTDOWN AT
MILLSTONE IS STILL UNREALIZED
LOCHBAUM SAYS HER EFFORTS
HELP. WELL I THINK I KNOW
THAT THE ACTIVIST EFFORTS HELP
THE NRC GET TO THE ANSWER
QUICKLY THE SPOTLIGHT,
PRESSURE HELPS THEM GET TO THE
ANSWER QUICKER AND THOSE
ANSWERS WILL COME AFTER
MILLSTONE'S INSPECTION TODAY
BUT AS BURTON WAITS FOR
RESULTSSHE LOOKS AHEAD TO THE
SUMMER WITH HER GRANDCHILDREN.
ONCE YOU LIVE IN A NUCLEAR
EVACUATION ZONE IT'S YOUR HOME
AND IF YOU CONSTANTLY OBSESS
OVER THE RISK AND THE DANGER
YOU CAN MAKE YOURSELF SICK
