Sizewell shut down due to problems with cooling pump today

Such a minor problem they had to close the station! Yeah right. The second time recently they've had problems with their cooling systems.

I like the way they talk about cooling systems as if to imply that "it was just  the cooling system not the reactor core". People would do well to remember that without constant cooling you've got a core that could potentially meltdown! For all of the knowledge and the technology and how complicated it all is, it is usually the simplest smallest least complicted thing that messes it all up!
