So Indian Point is the worst baffle bolt problem in the country. What if there is much bigger bolt problems ahead of us? The probability is there is much bigger ahead of us in other plants.
Seeing how Palisades has much more severe irradiation than in any other plant is the USA, I surmised there might have huge problems with their baffle bolts. I gave the nice resident inspectors a call. Palisades is so obsolete they don't have baffle plates. Asked them if they had any more problems with primary coolant pump impeller blades being thrown off. They inspected and did a overhaul of the C pump impeller. They have seen no problems with the impeller blades since the last big impeller inspection including at power problems.
