> The absence of radon progeny in this storm, and in a subsequent Michigan

>
> A fault in the main transformer Jan. 15, 2003 causes a fire torching the

> an enormous intrusion of fish. Broken low-pressure turbine blades damaged
> the Unit One reactor main turbine and generator Sept. 20, 2008 causing
> intense turbine vibrations. Cook was able to keep Unit Two operable during
> the nearly catastrophic accident.
>
> The $3.352 billion (in 2007 dollars) plant, also about the same age as
> Palisades to the north, was relicensed by the NRC Aug. 30, 2005. After

 now expire in 2034 with Unit Two’s expiration three years later.
