<div dir="auto">So Texas is below average in percent of electric power from nuclear. My dad worked for Westinghouse Nuclear Energy Systems.

He asked me to ask my dad what happened so I got a written report from him. As I recall the automation worked as designed but a human operator overrode it causing the damage. I still have that write-up somewhere.<br><div dir="auto"><br><div data-smartmail="gmail_signature" dir="auto">---<br>Frank C.
