Zero star if I could! I'm glad it's not located in my city and glad we're not downwind from it.
According to the Nuclear Regulatory Commission, Davis–Besse has been the source of two of the top five most dangerous nuclear incidents in the United States since 1979.[4]
On March 5, 2002, maintenance workers discovered that corrosion had eaten a football-sized hole into the reactor vessel head of the Davis–Besse plant. Although the corrosion did not lead to an accident, this was considered to be a serious nuclear safety incident.[2][3] The Nuclear Regulatory Commission kept Davis–Besse shut down until March 2004, so that FirstEnergy was able to perform all the necessary maintenance for safe operations. The NRC imposed its largest fine ever—more than $5 million—against FirstEnergy for the actions that led to the corrosion. The company paid an additional $28 million in fines under a settlement with the U.S. Department of Justice.[2]
Cool Place to drive past and see
14% of Ohio's energy is produced here at this economically challenged Davis Besse Nuclear Power Station
Produces 90% of Ohio's clean energy, and supports the local schools and towns.
I believe, that running a nuclear reactor is safe today, but it produces long lasting nuclear waste, that will be a huge problem for our future generations. We don't know yet, how to responsibly deal with radioactive waste. And the solution is not, to just dump it into the next river, like the russians do!
a lot of people work there
Really cool landmark
Great view from US 2 on the way to Cedar Point. 10/10 would look again.
Humans are not responsible enough to harness the atom. Shut it down.
