You should have called the fire department, at least you would have had some nice trucks to drool over.

<table align="center"><tbody><tr><td valign="top">Millstone reactor shut down early because of electrical glitch </td> </tr> <tr> <td colspan="1">
</td> </tr> <tr> <td class="basicSmallBlue" valign="top"> Published on 10/7/2009 in Home »Business »Business Local The Day </td> </tr> <tr> <td class="basicSmall" valign="top"> Waterford - Dominion shut down the Unit 2 reactor at Millstone Power Station Tuesday after an electrical switch flashed in the switchyard during maintenance in preparation for a planned refueling outage. The nuclear reactor was scheduled for refueling Saturday, but when the motor-operated switch flashed, operators decided to manually shut down the reactor ahead of schedule and begin the refueling process early, said Neil Sheehan, a spokesman for the Nuclear Regulatory Commission, and Richard Zuercher, a spokesman for station owner Dominion.
The incident occurred around noon, Sheehan said.
”The outage has now been brought forward and the refueling work will commence this week,” Zuercher said. “Work involved to get the unit back up to operate just for a few more days doesn't make sense. We plan for these outages over an 18-month period, so we're prepped for this thing.”
No one was injured during the incident, which was reported to the NRC and will be investigated further, Zuercher and Sheehan said.
