[quote:Anonymous Coward 1295673:MV8xNTM3MTQ2XzMyMjQxOTMxXzRBRDg1MTEx] New details about problems at San Onofre nuclear power plant http://latimesblogs.latimes.com/lanow/2012/07/san-onofre-new-information.html [snip] A May 7 analysis by Edison that [b]was leaked to the advocacy group Friends of the Earth[/b], discussed the issues in more detail. Edison officials confirmed the report was authentic. According to the analysis, while designing the new steam generators, Mitsubishi input parameters like fluid temperatures, flow rates from the primary side of the reactor system and steam generator dimensions and used a number of computer codes, some developed by Mitsubishi, in various phases of analysis, to predict whether the tubes would experience vibration issues. The reason that the design codes and [b][color=red]assumptions[/color] did not accurately predict the issues that arose[/b] is not fully understood, the report said. The report also noted examples of two other plants -- Three Mile Island and Arkansas Nuclear One -- that had experienced problems with tube to tube wear, but noted,[b]“although tube-to-tube wear had occurred in the industry in the past, it was not comparable in magnitude to that experienced at SONGS."[/b] ~ Couple things... Would we have learned the true edison analysis results if they hadn't been leaked to an advocacy group...? Should new nuke plant components be tested by 'assumptions'? [/quote]
