This is a great and very informative article, but it could use a picture, in my opinion.

I don't understand the numbers in this segment:

"Maine Yankee's most productive year came in 1989 when the average amount of energy produced reached 6,900 gigawatts per hour. The highest recorded output was 118,700 gigawatts per hour."

Watts (and gigawatts) are units of instantaneous power, so what's a "gigawatt per hour"? This plant is listed here as capable of 860 megawatts, which would mean an annual output of around 7500 gigawatt-hours per year if run constantly at that rate, but I can't make sense of these figures. --Arteitle 00:18, 8 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]


Agreed, The listed units make no sense. I read that the plant was rated at 920 MW and nuclear plants these days often run well above thier original power ratings, so It's possible that the author meant 6900 GW-hrs were produced in 1989 and the max power production was 1.187 GW. Just a guess, but these numbers seem reasonable.

POV Unsourced statement[edit]

"In 2005, dangerous radioactive material was still consistently being removed. The process is to end later in 2005 when the final radioactive soil is removed and grass is planted over the area."

This is clearly an anti-nuclear POV and an unsourced statement. I am leaving it for now but it should be removed if unable to be referenced to a reliable source. Matt (talk) 20:12, 7 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Well, seeing how that's in the incorrect tone, since it's using pretense despite the timeline being past what it's saying- not to mention, if it is a biased POV, there should be a neutrality tag for it. Seeing how there are two violatations there, I would think it should be removed.Kyprosサマ (talk) 10:27, 12 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Blacklisted Links Found on the Main Page[edit]

Cyberbot II has detected that page contains external links that have either been globally or locally blacklisted. Links tend to be blacklisted because they have a history of being spammed, or are highly innappropriate for Wikipedia. This, however, doesn't necessarily mean it's spam, or not a good link. If the link is a good link, you may wish to request whitelisting by going to the request page for whitelisting. If you feel the link being caught by the blacklist is a false positive, or no longer needed on the blacklist, you may request the regex be removed or altered at the blacklist request page. If the link is blacklisted globally and you feel the above applies you may request to whitelist it using the before mentioned request page, or request its removal, or alteration, at the request page on meta. When requesting whitelisting, be sure to supply the link to be whitelisted and wrap the link in nowiki tags. The whitelisting process can take its time so once a request has been filled out, you may set the invisible parameter on the tag to true. Please be aware that the bot will replace removed tags, and will remove misplaced tags regularly.

Below is a list of links that were found on the main page:

  • http://www.power-technology.com/projects/maine/
    Triggered by \bpower-technology\.com\b on the local blacklist

 Resolved This issue has been resolved, and I have therefore removed the tag, if not already done. No further action is necessary.—cyberbot II NotifyOnline 20:21, 9 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]
