[quote:Anonymous Coward 23527116:MV8xNTM3MTQ2XzM2NzQ2MzY1XzQwMDY5ODI=] [b]San Onofre reactor unit could safely be fired up at full power, Edison says[/b] Southern California Edison submitted an analysis to federal regulators showing that one of the two reactor units at the shuttered San Onofre nuclear plant could operate safely at full power for almost a year. The plant has been shuttered since a steam generator tube in the plant's Unit 3 sprung a small leak on Jan. 31, 2012, releasing a small amount of radioactive steam. The incident led to the discovery that thousands of tubes in the recently replaced steam generators in both units of the nuclear plant were showing signs of wear. Eight tubes in Unit 3 failed pressure tests, meaning they could have ruptured under some circumstances. Unit 2 showed less wear overall and less of a particularly unusual type of wear caused by tubes banging against adjacent tubes. Officials attributed the difference between the two units to slight manufacturing differences in the support structures. Edison has proposed to restart that unit at 70% power for five months, saying that running at reduced power would alleviate the conditions that led to the tube wear. http://latimesblogs.latimes.com/lanow/2013/03/san-onofre-analysis.html .
