85. getting fuel pool cooling working
Getting fuel pool cooling working... 1) suction for pumps has a stand pipe to ome off high in the pool (to prevent any chance of accidentally draining the pool)... pool would have to be nearly full to use it 2) piping and regular power is NSR, non-seismic... probably broke and 3) some of the pools are full of debris from roof... would quickly plug pumps or block suction and 4) these pumps aren't designed to pump very hot water and 5) some plants show service water pumps inop. This system is only an option at the plants with less damage... RHR could possibly be used for pool cooling.
