Davis-Besse Nuclear Power Station

Great.

The U.S. Department of Energy will issue a $4.2 billion federal loan to help three nuclear power plants operated by the company Vistra, including Perry and Lake County, upgrade and modernize their facilities.

The other facilities are Davis-Bessey in northwest Ohio and Beaver Valley in Pennsylvania.

The goal is to add 433 megawatts of new electricity to the region's power grid.

And it's coming at a time when people have major concerns, Zaria, about the rising cost of data centers and the need for energy to fuel them.

That's right.

The U.S. Department of Energy announced a conditional loan commitment of up to four point two billion dollars for Vistra for three nuclear pan-- uh, plants, Davis Besse in Ottawa County, uh, Perry in Lake County, and Beaver Valley in Pennsylvania.

The department says the money keeps nearly four gigawatts of base load power on the grid and adds four hundred and thirty-three megawatts of new nuclear capacity with about three thousand project jobs.

The plants, they feed PJM.

So after these 20 automatic trips, the NRC still gives them this satisfactory for commercial operation grade.

TMI isn't the only... that's experiencing these types of problems.

In 1977, so we're talking very, very close to this Three Mile Island accident, there was a Davis-Bessey nuclear power plant in Ohio that has an incident that involves a stuck open Babcock and Wilcox pilot-operated relief valve, the exact same relief valve that went wrong at TMI2 when they first started it.

And there was a loss of coolant that happens.

Luckily, operators in this situation were able to correct the errors within about 20 minutes of the first warning.
