Heat removal is | | via the atmospheric steam dumps, normal procedure with no tube leaks, and | | feedwater is via the standby feedwater system. The plant will remain shut | | down until repairs to the feedwater regulating valve are complete. | | | | The licensee notified the NRC Resident Inspector. | +------------------------------------------------------------------------------+

Mara, It is about 8 miles South of my house. When I go sailing at Black Point Marina I can see it. If anyone hears anything else, I would appreciate if you let me know. Makes me a little nervous.
