    Talked with someone yesterday and they were saying they are shutting down a reactor at the nuke plant in the next week or 2. If that is the case sounds like 60% less warm water coming into the river daily anyone else heard anything abotu it?

    My uncle and cousin work there I will have to give them a call. This is usually about the time they have a shut down and will go all the way up to opener.

    With the predicted daytime temps above 30 I don’t think Pool 4 will be freezing up anytime soon

    I don’t think its ice that’s the concern but rather the dip in temps.
