- masonic 7y agoNone of these names nuclear power plants that are "operating beyond their design life and keep (sic) increasing their allowable crack tolerance". There's no mention of crack tolerance at all, just references to containment vessels and caps requiring maintenance for radiation damage.
- hanniabu 7y agoI just posted these from a quick 30s search. I'm not sure of the link for the post I've read about the concrete cracks in specific, but I believe it was about a year ago that I read it. Regardless, you can see the state of affairs and how the need for power generation and the desire to keep costs low leads to compromises in safety precautions.
