LESSONS FOR ONTARIO ?

In all, 37 deaths in the South and Midwest have been confirmed as heat-related, and heat is suspected in 10 more, authorities said.
The Tennessee Valley Authority, the nation's largest public utility, shut down one of three units at the Browns Ferry nuclear plant in Athens, Ala., on Thursday because water drawn from the Tennessee River was exceeding a 90-degree average over 24 hours.
"We don't believe we've ever shut down a nuclear unit because of river temperature," said John Moulton, spokesman for the Knoxville, Tenn.-based utility.
The shutdown posed no safety threat, but it came as TVA hit records for power consumption in the last two weeks in its service area covering most of Tennessee and parts of Alabama, Mississippi, Kentucky, Georgia, North Carolina and Virginia.
The utility will compensate for the loss of power by buying it elsewhere. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . ..Note: . .Some important points about this news item . . . .. . .. . . .. . . . . . . . . . . .. . .. . .. . . . . . .. . . .the temperature of a moving river is 90 degrees F.(30 C.)average over 24 hours,causing the nuclear power station to shut down . . . . . .. . . . . . .. . . . . . . . . . . .. . . . . . . . . . . . . . .. . . . . . . . . . . . .also,the power company had to import power from another area(maybe dirty coal generated power ?) . . . . . . . . . . . . .
