Posting a less cropped version of a previous photo, to give a better sense of the Susquehanna’s expanse. It’s about a mile wide at this point, and the Columbia-Wrightsville Bridge that spans it was (is?) the longest multiple-arch concrete bridge in the world. I know there are MUCH wider rivers, but a mile was still breathtaking to see in person. Or maybe I just need to get out of the city more.

Federal regulators have rejected a deal that would let Amazon draw more power from a Pennsylvania nuclear plant to supply new bit barns next to the site, on the grounds this would set a precedent which may affect grid reliability and increase energy costs.

Inspectors Dispatched To #Susquehanna #NuclearPlant After 3 Unexpected Shutdowns
January 14, 2013
BERWICK, Pa. (AP) — "Federal regulators began examining a nuclear plant in northeastern Pennsylvania on Monday following three unexpected shutdowns, but the facility's operator said it is safe and stable.
"A three-member team from the Nuclear Regulatory Commission [#NRC] arrived at the Susquehanna power plant near #BerwickPennsylvania to look into operator performance, equipment reliability and decision-making, the agency said.
"The move comes after three unplanned reactor shutdowns between Nov. 9 and Dec. 19. None of the incidents posed a safety threat, said Joe Scopelliti, a spokesman for Allentown-based PPL Corp., which operates Susquehanna.
"'We did a thorough investigation of the causes of the shutdowns,' said Scopelliti, noting the company is cooperating with the inspection.
"The most recent shutdown occurred after a valve failed to open during plant startup, temporarily interrupting the water supply to one of the facility's two reactors.
"The Nov. 9 shutdown was attributed to problems with a computer system that monitors water levels. A Dec. 16 malfunction happened during routine valve testing on Unit 2's main turbine system.
"Neil Sheehan, a spokesman for the nuclear agency, said it's not clear how long the inspection will take. A report containing findings and recommendations is due 45 days after the inspection is completed.
"Recommendations could include increased oversight, Sheehan said. He noted Susquehanna's Unit 1 reactor is already under a higher level of oversight because of a flooding event in 2010."
