NRC issues $60,000 fine for inattentive control room supervisor at Pilgrim Nuclear Power Plant
The Nuclear Regulatory Commission has proposed a $60,000 civil penalty for Entergy Nuclear Operations, Inc., for violations that occurred at the Pilgrim nuclear power plant on June 29, 2004. The violations involve a control room supervisor who was asleep for approximately 4 minutes while on duty in the control room, and improper response by a shift manager and reactor operator after observing the inattentive supervisor.
Invensys engineers receive patents for improved turbo machinery, speed measurement accuracy
Invensys Process Systems announced that a team of five Invensys engineers have been awarded two U.S. patents (numbers 6,711,513 and 6,823,275) for speed measurement accuracy improvements made to support the triple modular redundant (TMR) pulse input module.
IEEE begins standard to define communication channel for broadband-over-powerline systems
With momentum building to adapt the installed base of electrical power lines for Internet and other broadband communications, the IEEE has begun work on a standard to define the nature of the communication channel to be used. This standard, being developed within the IEEE-SA Corporate Program, will be an essential step in helping manufacturers develop the devices to be used in commercializing this approach.

Global spending on LNG infrastructure to reach 12.1 TCF/year valued at $73.6 billion by 2010
The growing complexity of contractual relationships and structures of some modern LNG (liquefied natural gas) supply chains is evidenced by international oil and gas companies, national oil companies, and utilities now participating at several points along a typical supply chain in order to extract more value, spread risk, and establish more security of off-take or supply.
Update: SF6Emission Reduction Partnership -- 2005
I>Electric Light & Power and Utility Automation & Engineering T&D readers last heard about the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's (EPA) voluntary sulfur hexafluoride (SF6) partnership with the electric power industry back in 2000. Since then the SF6 Emission Reduction Partnership for Electric Power Systems has grown, stream-lined its Memorandum of Understanding (MOU), and developed an electronic spreadsheet to ease the reporting of SF6 emissions.
NRC begins special inspection at James A. Fitzpatrick nuclear plant
The Nuclear Regulatory Commission has initiated a special inspection at the James A. FitzPatrick nuclear power plant in response to the discovery of cracking in the facility's torus, or pressure suppression chamber, and a shutdown cooling line. Members of the three-person team arrived this afternoon at the Scriba, N.Y., plant, which is operated by Entergy.
