Oop! Don't go swimming in the nuclear reactor, kids!

(Palisades Nuclear Generating Station)

"On 10/21/2025 at 0930 EDT an individual fell into the reactor cavity. The reactor cavity is full of water. They ingested some amount of cavity water. The individual was decontaminated by radiation protection personnel but had 300 counts per minute detected in their hair. At 1632 EDT they were sent off site to seek medical attention.

"This is an eight-hour notification, non-emergency, for the transportation of a contaminated person offsite. This event is reportable in accordance with 10 CFR 50.72(b)(3)(xii).

"The NRC Resident Inspector has been notified."

Poem

I went swimming in a nuclear pool
Call me what you will, I am no fool
It's the warmest water in Michigan I say
Better than a radium spa, any day!

I dove right into the nuclear plant pool
Hey, stop calling me a fool!
I no longer need a flash light in the dark
And you can see me glow as I walk across the park

Swallowing radioactive water is not so bad
Though the beeping of that Geiger counter is not so rad
I went back to work the next day
But why do people keep running away?

Contractor falls into tank of water at Palisades

"COVERT TOWNSHIP, Mich. (WOOD) — A worker sustained minor injuries when they fell into a water-filled tank at the Palisades nuclear power plant in Southwest Michigan.

It happened Tuesday at the plant along Lake Michigan in Covert Township, south of South Haven, according to a report filed with the Nuclear Regulatory Commission.

Palisades owner Holtec International told News 8 in a statement that a contractor was working in the containment building when they fell into a tank above the reactor that was filled with water in preparation for future fuel movements. The report says the contractor swallowed some of the water."
