I blame this on governor Cuomo. He jumps up and down like a madman railing about the recent problems at Indian Point and nothing ever changers. He doesn't effectively use his political powers.
***Their aging management system through campaign contribution is severely flawed.
Most people in the USA in a new Gallup poll disapprove of Nuclear power...does this even make them more vulnerable?
There is a well know corrosion
problem with these bolts, many plants had to fish bolts out of the coolant
system.
***They are supposed to replace the bolts...it will be worst if the new bolts failed.
***Why didn't the loose parts monitor inside the core pick up all the circulating broken bolts???
Look up these terms,
Baffle former
Baffle Jetting
Most plants have changed the
flow around the baffle plates. What is
it a upflow conversion.
Bottom line, Entergy-Indian
point is going to be implicated in not doing the industry and Westinghouse required inspections associated with the
baffle plates and their bolting.
Has there been fuel damage?
Steam generator damage?
Pipe damage or other associated
with bolts loose in the coolant.
