Phil Haigh<p>This is getting silly. I now have four Digitrax BXPA1 reverse modules. The first two I bought (on the left) have both developed an identical fault, the LocoNet interface has died. I’m hoping it’s a batch fault that has evaded the other two I now possess, the second of which has just been installed over lunchtime.</p><p>Plan is to stick the faulty ones in the post for repair - they have to go to Florida for that - and then sell them on once returned. If neither of the other two develop a fault in the meantime (I really hope I’m not foreshadowing, here…)</p><p><a href="https://mastodonapp.uk/tags/ModelRailway" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ModelRailway</span></a> <a href="https://mastodonapp.uk/tags/Digitrax" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Digitrax</span></a> <a href="https://mastodonapp.uk/tags/Faulty" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Faulty</span></a></p>

Ian K Tindale<p><span>My coffee grinder destroyed itself again this morning<br><br>Don’t buy the John Lewis “La Cafetière Hand Coffee Grinder” (84517206) because it has a couple of design flaws, and I hate to criticise it because it really is a nice unit that produces in my opinion better ground coffee than my previous now smashed-up Hario mini did before I punished it for spilling the beans again<br><br>The John Lewis unit has a shaft held in with a split-washer clip type of arrangement (and there’s another on the bottom end of the shaft past the grinder ceramic) and this split-washer just comes off every now and then and is ground up into the coffee, so when you take the handle and knob off to get inside to fill more coffee beans into it, the shaft drops into your ground coffee together with the spring and two normal washers and the ground-up split-washer, if you can find them all in your ground coffee<br><br>This morning is about the third time it did this, so I took it all apart and cleaned everything, the ceramic grinder parts etc, and noticed the bottom of the ceramic part, the plastic middle bit of it, that attaches to the shaft, also has some cracks due to the stress of the square shaft<br><br>The reason I’m not recommending buying it is because this one is not even a year old! Nowhere near in fact, so it doesn’t have the longlifeiness required of any normal product that isn’t a consumable, and that’s a shame because when it works it actually does the job in a way that makes me pleased with it<br> </span><a href="https://toot.pikopublish.ing/tags/CoffeeGrinder" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#CoffeeGrinder</a><span> </span><a href="https://toot.pikopublish.ing/tags/JohnLewis" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#JohnLewis</a><span> </span><a href="https://toot.pikopublish.ing/tags/faulty" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#faulty</a><span> </span><a href="https://toot.pikopublish.ing/tags/product" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#product</a><span> </span><a href="https://toot.pikopublish.ing/tags/design" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#design</a></p>

DoomsdaysCW<p>Application Filed to Extend Life of <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/DiabloCanyon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>DiabloCanyon</span></a> Power Plant Another 20 Years</p><p>PG&amp;E Submits Application with <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/NRC" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>NRC</span></a> to Renew Plant’s License </p><p>By Jean Yamamura <br>Wed Nov 08, 2023</p><p>"Renewal of Diablo Canyon Power Plant’s license was formally filed with the Nuclear Regulatory Commission by owner <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/PacificGasAndElectric" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>PacificGasAndElectric</span></a> Company on November 7, more than a month ahead of the end of 2023 deadline. The 2,200 megawatts of carbon-free power generated by the nuclear plant can provide electricity for as many as three million of <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/California" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>California</span></a>’s 39 million residents, fully 17 percent of the state’s supply of zero-carbon electricity, according to PG&amp;E. But is it still needed?</p><p>"A number of groups fighting the nuclear power plant contend a potential for disaster exists from the aging facility, finished in 1973. Nonprofits like the <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/MothersForPeace" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>MothersForPeace</span></a> in San Luis Obispo, where the plant is located, and the <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/AllianceForNuclearResponsibility" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>AllianceForNuclearResponsibility</span></a> argue that questions about brittle welds and nearby earthquake faults remain unanswered. Friends of the Earth is seeking to overturn the NRC’s licensing procedure for Diablo in the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals.</p><p>"The NRC agreed to shorten the five-year window for the license renewal, causing <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/FriendsOfTheEarth" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>FriendsOfTheEarth</span></a>’s legal director, Hallie Templeton, to say: “PG&amp;E’s reckless push to extend the life of Diablo Canyon, while unsurprising, should set off alarm bells for everyone living near this high-risk facility. Diablo Canyon’s operations are extremely dangerous, harmful to the climate and put all of California at risk of a catastrophic accident.”</p><p>"In answer to the question of safety at a nuclear facility located 90 miles northwest of Santa Barbara, PG&amp;E’s chief nuclear officer, Paula Gefen, said, 'We have a dedicated workforce that is committed to operating DCPP with integrity and safety at the forefront.' [PG&amp;E is known for greed and poor safety record keeping -- see link in comments]</p><p>"During this shortened window, PG&amp;E has a number of state agencies to persuade in addition to the NRC: It received a lease extension from the State Lands Commission in June for the strip of beach it uses, but the California Energy Commission and the California Public Utilities Commission are assessing actual costs and outage costs against renewed operations and market revenues. Their documents are underway or in a comment period and are supposed to be final before the end of 2023.</p><p>"If PG&amp;E’s license renewal application passes muster, Diablo would be allowed to operate beyond its current end dates of 2024 and 2025, while the application is further reviewed, said PG&amp;E spokesperson Suzanne Hosn. The process takes longer than a year, after which PG&amp;E would submit for <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/CoastalZoneManagement" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>CoastalZoneManagement</span></a> ct recertification with the California Coastal Commission.</p><p>"Bruce Severance, a regulatory compliance engineer, has argued that certain welds, known to be <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/faulty" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>faulty</span></a> from Reactor One’s inception, are so <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/brittle" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>brittle</span></a> that replacement of the <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/ReactorVessel" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ReactorVessel</span></a> was a considerable cost the CPUC must consider. Severance and Digby MacDonald, a nuclear engineering and materials science professor at UC Berkeley, submitted a paper to the Diablo Canyon Independent Safety Committee outlining the <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/fracture" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>fracture</span></a> toughness problem with the welds, but that committee won’t be meeting to discuss their conclusions until February 2024.</p><p>As for the need for Diablo to continue generating electricity, David Weisman of the <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/AllianceForNuclearResponsibility" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>AllianceForNuclearResponsibility</span></a> pointed to Governor Gavin Newsom’s statement in October that California’s <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/battery" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>battery</span></a> storage capacity reached more than 6,600 megawatts: 'More than equivalent to the power Diablo generates,' Weisman said.</p><p>"The turmoil surrounding the nuclear power plant began after PG&amp;E decided to abandon its application for a license renewal in 2016. That would have shuttered the power plant’s two reactors in 2024 and 2025. However, Governor Newsom deemed the power was needed in the face of air-conditioning use during California’s increasingly hot summers. The State Legislature passed Senate Bill 846 last fall to loan PG&amp;E $1.4 billion and extend Diablo’s operations to 2030.</p><p>"The CPUC held a hearing on Tuesday, at which Linda Seeley of <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/MothersForPeace" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>MothersForPeace</span></a> addressed the commissioners. She told them California was on track to add another 6,000MW in <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/renewable" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>renewable</span></a> power by 2026, three times Diablo’s output. Regarding safety, she said, 'while the Legislature and the CPUC have been relying on the NRC to ensure the safe operation of Diablo Canyon past the reactors’ 2024/2025 license expiration dates, the NRC itself appears to be bending to the State requests — rather than protecting the public.'</p><p>"Seeley emphasized the decision to prolong Diablo’s life could not be a political one. 'Put it together,' she urged the commissioners. 'No inspection of the Unit 1 pressure vessel since 2002; active <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/earthquake" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>earthquake</span></a> faults under the plant — couple those conditions with the fact that we don’t even need the power from Diablo Canyon, and you can easily reach a decision that your grandchildren will thank you for.'"</p><p><a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/TEPCOLies" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>TEPCOLies</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Fukushima" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Fukushima</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/RethinkNotRestart" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>RethinkNotRestart</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Japan" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Japan</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/PG" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>PG</span></a>&amp;E <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/NRC" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>NRC</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/IAEA" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>IAEA</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/NoNukes" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>NoNukes</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/NoNewNukes" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>NoNewNukes</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/PriceAndersonAct" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>PriceAndersonAct</span></a></p>

Hitchin Hackspace<p>Public Service Announcement:</p><p>We bought a Lidl "Parkside" Digital Hot Air Gun PHLGD 2000 B4 on Saturday. Turned it on yesterday and it tripped the circuit breakers at the Hackspace immediately. The main power switch is faulty. Took it back to the store for a replacement, plugged that in, it powers on regardless of the on/off switch position. The main power switch is faulty again! SPC might suggest this is not a good purchase to failure ratio. Is the product fit / safe for sale?<br>If you have recently bought one of these, they are currently on sale in UK Lidl stores, please do plug it in and check it is safe today! You might want to plug it in to a circuit without any running computers on it in case it trips your breakers!
