Indian Point Junk

They just finished big old outage and they got a crack in the 20 inch service water system. Any dummy can tell they don't have a process to keep their service water system pipes clean of dangerous cracks and flaws. it become a patchwork process of dealing with one crack at a time and not a system of making the piping system durable enough to not interrupt plant operations.

I wonder if they didn't have the baffle bolt problem would they even shutdown. 

Remember the snap back from Brexit?
