"Markey's letter was prompted by a June 14 letter (attached to his letter to Chairman Jaczko) by D.C.-based attorney Billie Garde, who has long worked with nuclear whistle blowers. Garde's letter revealed that a radioactive water leak has been ongoing in the Palisades control room for a year; "catch basins" are used to collect the radioactive water leakage, although it is unclear how the radioactive water is disposed of after it is collected. Garde also revealed a total collapse in "Safety Culture" at Palisades: most workers fear retaliation if they question management decisions. Less severe Safety Culture collapse at Millstone nuclear power plant in Connecticut led to its shutdown by NRC in 1996, according to Garde."

From this paragraph I didn't understand whether leakage occured on the floor of the control room itself, or whether they read from instruments placed in control room that leakage has been occuring.

"A senior member of the U.S. House Energy and Commerce Committee is asking pointed questions about the leak in a borated water tank at the Palisades nuclear power plant in Covert Township. Edward J. Markey, D-Mass., sent a letter last week to the Nuclear Regulatory Commission seeking answers to the questions about the tank problems. In a news release, Markey characterized the tank leak as 'a serious safety issue,' a statement disputed by plant officials. The plant is owned by Entergy."

The explosion OP heard when he started this thread is maybe caused by bursting/rifting a tube or reservoir with high pressured nitrogen. Namely if an big disaster on the reactor occur, above the reactor is placed the tank with borated water. Above this tank is placed reservoir with high presured nitrogen. If realy big disaster ocur, that borated water is squirted into the reactor under gravitation and by pressured nytrogen. That way all nuclear chain reaction is stopped in a tiny bit of second. But, that act always has fatal consequence. The reactor is no longer operational and reparable by any means afterwards.

So, what I think is that borated acid didn't squirted in Palisades's reactor, but reservoir with pressured nitrogen or tube(s) that connect that reservoir with the borated water tank bursted/rifted, and that caused the sound you heard.
