We've incorporated lessons learned from exercises and events from across the country. This plan has been tested like no other nuclear plan has been tested and has demonstrated its effectiveness. |
We've provided information to the appropriate state and federal agencies. |
What we may learn from this is that boxing (the electrical switch) is appropriate, or that we need to take extra steps next time there's scaffolding put up. We're erecting scaffolding all the time and we have done it in this location without incident. |

You don't want to lose any water in the pool. But a lot of the things we deal with every day are dangerous. What's important is knowing how to deal with them. |
