NRC hearing scheduled in Richland on Hanford nuclear plant

The Nuclear Regulatory Commission is concerned about too many unplanned shutdowns - or scrams - at Hanford's Columbia Generating Station, the only nuclear power plant in Washington.

RICHLAND, Wash. —

The Nuclear Regulatory Commission is concerned about too many unplanned shutdowns - or scrams - at Hanford's Columbia Generating Station, the only nuclear power plant in Washington.

Commission staff is holding a public meeting Tuesday in Richland to review last year's performance of the Energy Northwest plant.

The Tri-City Herald reports the plant operated safely in 2009 but it had five scrams. The last one was in November when a hydraulic fluid leak affected the main turbine.
