E-M:/ Toledo Blade on Fermi 1 fire

[Kay Cumbow <kcumbow@greatlakes.net>]

I am not an expert, but this leaves the public with many unanswered
questions. Have there been fires before? Are there filters actually in
place and able to catch respirable particles that would ensue from a fire
and smoke? I would hope that the complete evaluation will be made open to
the public. -Kay Cumbow

Fermi 1 fire emitted no radiation
NRC finding follows blaze in decommissioned plant


Snip: "Viktoria Mitlyng, an NRC spokesman, said the fire was
presumed radioactive because liquid sodium was used to cool the plant's
reactor. External monitoring continues, she said." 

Snip: "The decommissioning project has been temporarily suspended,
pending an evaluation. He said the utility is on schedule to have the
site dismantled by 2012."
