Is there anything in English about that? The only other reference I can find is the Regulatory Oversight Report 2014 (https://www.ensi.ch/en/wp-content/uploads/sites/5/2015/06/ensi_aufsichtsbericht_2014_web.pdf https://www.ensi.ch/en/wp-content/uploads/sites/5/2015/06/en...), but Google translate is making a hash out of it:
"In the operating year 2014 were in the nuclear power plant
Leibstadt (KKL) next to a reactor snap shutter
several power transients on July 5, 2014
to be recorded. The integrity of the primary container
ment was through in the first half of the year
six holes impaired. ENSI provides
confirms that the KKL meets the approved operating conditions
always adhered to."
There is this:
"In 2008, two fire extinguishers were installed at the Leibstadt Nuclear Power Station. In so doing, six holes were pierced in the primary containment of the reactor, in order to insert screws. Five of the six holes were full of screws, whereas the sixth was only covered by a bracket. The confinement barrier that notably isolates the reactor vessel and the core of the reactor is a basic element for security, because it is an obstacle to the emission of radioactive elements into the environment. The holes were discovered accidentally by an employee who was doing rounds."(https://miningawareness.wordpress.com/2014/07/25/the-northern-swiss-nuclear-screw-up-nuclear-containment-like-swiss-cheese-still-leaks-far-less-than-icrp-standard-allows/ https://miningawareness.wordpress.com/2014/07/25/the-norther... quoting a Greenpeace blogger)
Edit: Ok, this is hilarious:
"November 6, 2014 The Swiss Federal Nuclear Safety Inspectorate (ENSI) has filed criminal charges against Greenpeace activists that were involved in a protest at the Beznau nuclear power plant in March this year. The activists are charged with causing damage to property. The charges were filed on Monday with the Federal Prosecutor’s Office. According to the ENSI, the protestors jumped over the fence surrounding the reactor and cut some wires. They then climbed the reactor building and drilled holes into the secondary containment wall. The charges also cover another incident in 2008 at the Leibstadt nuclear plant, also in Aargau, where holes were allegedly drilled by activists to install two fire extinguishers. The damage was only discovered in June this year."
In 2008, activists snuck in, installed two fire extinguishers, and snuck out without anyone noticing.
