"Nuclear power provides about 11% of Texas electricity.
But one of two reactors at the South Texas Project nuclear plant tripped offline on Monday.
It was a big plant to lose, costing the state 1.3 gigawatts of power generation,
about a quarter of its total nuclear capacity.
The cold weather caused a false signal to shut down a feedwater intake,
tripping a pump offline and then the entire generating unit."


What happened to the mini sized reactors
that were supposed to be built for electrical power years ago?
Tree huggers, terrorists, cost, something else??


Mini as in submarine-sized ?
