d04415.txt As a result, the NRC Davis- Besse task force concluded that inconsistent enforcement may have reinforced a belief that alloy 600 nozzle leakage was not actually or potentially a safety significant issue. Furthermore, Davis- Besse was not the subject of intense scrutiny in regional plant assessment meetings because plants perceived as good performers--such as Davis-Besse--received substantially less attention. Given that FirstEnergy concluded that one of the causes for the Davis- Besse incident was human performance and management failures, the panel overseeing FirstEnergy's efforts to restart Davis-Besse requested that FirstEnergy assess its safety culture before allowing the plant to restart. www.gao.gov /atext/d04415.txt   (19025 words)

Press Release -- Congressman Dennis J. Kucinich (OH10) -- Kucinich on Davis Besse Restart It is clear that First Energy failed to safely operate the Davis Besse power plant, the NRC failed to effectively regulate the nuclear power plant and both entities failed to place the health and safety of those living near this power plant above the profits of First Energy. After the shutdown of Davis Besse, the NRC released a report that documented its ‘Lessons Learned.’ The report made a few recommendations as to how the NRC might avoid future incidents like the corrosion problems at Davis Besse. The Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) coaxed Davis Besse to shut down and soon thereafter workers found a hole in the top of the reactor. www.house.gov /apps/list/press/oh10_kucinich/040212dbrestart.html   (511 words)

Slammer worm crashed Ohio nuke plant network Davis says the industry learned from the Davis-Besse incident, but that the breach didn't prove that connections between plant and corporate networks can't be implemented securely. Jim Davis, director of operations at the Nuclear Energy Institute, an industry association, says those concerns are overblown. "If you break all the connections and allow no data to pass from anywhere to anywhere, you've got great security -- but why'd you put the digital systems in the first place?," says Davis. www.securityfocus.com /news/6767   (1762 words)

Ohio’s Davis-Besse Nuclear Power Plant wants to resume normal operation The Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC), the federal body in charge of watching over Davis Besse, ignored significant evidence of corrosion and let the plant continue to operate for several months In the investigation that followed the finding of the rust hole, workers at the plant said they were ignored by management when safety concerns were raised and some employees have even indicated they were scared of raising concerns out of fear for their jobs. Some personnel at the NRC have indicated that the financial impact FirstEnergy would incur from an early plant shut down affected the final decision. www.kentenvironment.org /_articles/_24_DBBadIdea.htm   (494 words)

Slammer worm crashed Ohio nuke plant network The Davis-Besse plant is operated by FirstEnergy Corp., the Ohio utility company that's become the focus of an investigation into the northeastern U.S. blackout last week. The T1 line, investigators later found, was one of multiple ingresses into Davis-Besse's business network that completely bypassed the plant's firewall, which was programmed to block the port Slammer used to spread.

Davis-Besse and FirstEnergy -- Ohio Citizen Action AKRON -- "During today's third-quarter report, Richard Marsh, FirstEnergy's Chief Financial Officer, said that the troubled Davis-Besse nuclear plant would be 'ready to return to service before the end of the year.' To interpet Marsh's statement, it helps to see it in the context of dozens of similar previous statements, none of which came true. OAK HARBOR -- At yesterday's meeting with the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission, FirstEnergy revealed a new breakdown in Davis-Besse's containment air cooler that is supposed to keep other containment-area equipment from overheating. FirstEnergy's defense argues that instead of pulling in power from all over the region, thus setting up disruptions, it was somewhat of an innocent bystander - with power being pulled through its territory. www.ohiocitizen.org /campaigns/electric/2003/nuc2003e.html   (9793 words)
