Quote from the e-mail:
“HERE IS ANOTHER CASE OF A TROUBLED NUCLEAR POWER PLANT AND
TRIANGLE-SHAPED UFOS BEING REPORTED NEARBY.”
My comment:
In this e-mail, Daniel Wilson presents seven NUFORC UFO case reports. The
North Carolina UFO incidents occurred on 23 June 1998, 12 August 1999, 22
November 2000, 1 January 2002, 2 August 2002, 21 November 2002, 10 July 2003.
He also presents a news article (“Problems mount at Shearon Harris”)
that reports on the 2003 Shearon Harris Nuclear Plant emergency shutdowns.
The Shearon Harris Nuclear Power Plant is located in New Hill , North Carolina
Wikipedia article: “Shearon Harris Nuclear Power Plant”:
Quote from the Wikipedia article:
“The Shearon Harris Nuclear Power Plant is a nuclear power plant with a
single Westinghouse designed pressurized-water nuclear reactor operated by Duke
Energy. It was named in honor of W. Shearon Harris, former president of
Carolina Power & Light (predecessor of Progress Energy Inc.).[2] Located in
New Hill, North Carolina, in the United States, about 20 miles (30 km ) southwest of Raleigh,
it generates 900 MWe, has a 523-foot (160 m ) natural draft cooling tower, and uses
Harris Lake for cooling. The reactor achieved criticality in January 1987 and
began providing power commercially on May 2 of that year.
The Shearon Harris site was originally designed for four reactors, but
cost and weakening demand despite a growing population resulted in three of the
reactors being canceled. The final cost approached $3.9B, including safety
upgrades mandated after the Three Mile Island
accident.
On November 16, 2006, the operator applied to the Nuclear Regulatory
Commission (NRC) for a renewal and extension of the plant's operating
license.[3] The NRC granted the renewal on December 17, 2008, extending the
license from forty years to sixty.[4]”
