Bird Poop takes down N reactor
Re: Bird Poop takes down N reactor
High tension is no joke. Doesn't take a lot of contamination to sport an arc. Glad I don't muck with it anymore. An old buddy of mine had his hand blasted last year. They pruned him to mid-forearm. Now he makes funny jokes like "you know there is no mystery for which hand I use to do 'stuff' with, nice to meet you".
The development of atomic power, though it could confer unimaginable blessings on mankind, is something that is dreaded by the owners of coal mines and oil wells. (Hazlitt)

Bird poop did not take down a reactor. Bird poop took down a transmission line. The fully functional reactor safety systems then brought the reactor to a safe shut down.

Might be a good idea for ITER to set a few mouse traps, just in case.
