If one analyzed the recent alert at IP2 that
occurred on Tuesday at 
approximately 7:29PM, and was lifted on
Wednesday at approximately 
6:50PM, the conclusion would be that all
parties concerned did a 
terrific job, and performed their specific
functions as they should 
have been. Looking at the actions taken by
the plant to identify the 
leak, and to isolate it, they accomplished
their mission. The 
governmental agencies did their job by
declaring the appropriate 
protective actions after conversing with all
parties (requiring no 
public actions) based on data provided by
the plant. The media for 
the most part did a very good job in
providing factual news releases 
informing the public of what occurred and
what was to be expected.

The US nuclear power industry, and the
various governmental agencies, 
continue to demonstrate that lessons
learned from TMI have been 
implemented well, and, that we do not
have the communication glitches 
that had occurred back in the '70s. ALL
should be commended for a job 
well done (including the media)!
