Tragic Accident at Monticello Plant :o(

The Nuclear Industry is a very close knit family, only 104 sites, so what happens at one place, impacts us all.  I have mentioned several times on this Journal about how focused on safety we are at our plant in Michigan.  Yesterday was a sad day for the folks at Monticello Plant, in Minnesota.  Please send your thoughts and prayers out to the family of the victim for this tragic accident :o(

What a shame. It highlights the importance of safety in the workplace, no matter what your job might be. Very sad.

That is a terrible thing.  I know from working in/near a plant environment that things happen and have experienced fatal accidents at work.  Very, very difficult for all.  My prayers are with all.
Hugs, Joyce

I was watching a show on National Geographic Channel about the changing of a turbine at a nuclear reactor ... I can't imagine the risk involved in working in one ...

...couldn't 'hear' the story ... but my heart aches for those involved all the same ...
