When I see pictures or video of anything nuclear, I tend to now focus upon the noise as radiation will cause more noise, hence the better the picture quality, the happier I feel.
Though for this case, factoring in the lighting, I'd not panic, but equally mindful that cracks are part and parcel in the world of reinforced concrete, I'm not so sure about the material in use here. It's not what you want to be seeing in such use. Equally to combat cracks in any material, you drill small holes either end of the crack to stop it growing.
So for me, why is that not being done? After all, hairline crack today, receding hairline tomorrow possibilities.
After all, would they let an aircraft take off with a known hairline crack? That's one way to put some perspective upon this.

It doesn't seem to me that that many prospective nuclear safety concerns involve a radiation leak ahead of time. Your heuristic seems better calibrated to detecting leaks that exist now, rather than flaws or limitations in systems that are meant to prevent future leaks.
- Zenst 7y agoAs I said "Though for this case, factoring in the lighting, I'd not panic". Thing is about cracks, they tend to grow, hence questioning how they are handled as currently it seems a case of make a note, move along, nothing to see here approach strikes again.
