DOes anyone have any connections to get someone to talk as part of
conference on the issues of all the license extensions on the nuclear
power plants.
From my reading, even the original design engineers are saying we never
anticipated these plants operating longer than 40 years. The whole
safety issue of radiation damage to steel (& how much of the cooling
tubes & other steelworks are leaking and embrittled already from 40
years of radiation hardening) is a well known issue in nuclear
engineering circles that is completely kept out of the public limelight
& such discussions as Indian Point.
