Gonna be "NOO-kee-yer" Summer

Postby Taro Toporific » Fri Feb 21, 2003 4:10 pm

Tokyo Electric Power Company, will be shutting down its last nuclear reactors by April 15th for inspections meaning that all the reactors have been shut down.

Needless to say, TEPCO is whining more than a Boeing 777 about this since their Tokyo nuke power plants are all shut down for repairs and they want to be excused for brownouts ... Or just to be allowed to turn the leaky Nukes back on line...

...Indeed Tepco has begun a campaign to ask consumers to conserve energy, saying that a cold snap in March could otherwise wipe out its safety-net of supplies. The outlook for Tokyo's hot and humid summer, when demand for electricity is at its peak, is grim. Tepco reckons that it may fall short of expected demand by as much as 20% if its nuclear-power plants remain closed. Tepco will probably push to restart its reactors, claiming they are safe.
