An outage that was caused by something that, through a rare confluence of events, also destroyed their outage-backup-plan. The plant could have easily dealt with most power outages.
Not to say there isn't a lesson to be learned, obviously, but to say the plant couldn't deal with an outage is ingenuous at minimum.
- ant6n 4y agoBattery backup was good for 8h. Seems pretty risky to me, there are many scenarios thinkable where a power outage for more than 8h could occur. For example some natural disaster, which across ubiquitously deployed nuclear would occur every day somewhere on earth.

- denton-scratch 4y ago> but to say the plant couldn't deal with an outage is ingenuous at minimum. Did you mean "disingenuous"? "Ingenuous" means lacking in guile or craftiness. "Disingenuous" means having the intent to deceive, and is used much more often.
