San Onofre Steam Generator Tube Evaluation
San Onofre Steam Generator Tube Evaluation
(OP)
I have been trying to follow closely what has been happening with the recent steam generator tube leak evaluation for Unit 2 and Unit 3 steam generators at the San Onofre Nuclear Generating Station (SONGS).
I have been unsuccessful in getting reliable information as to the type of analysis being performed on the root cause of tube failures and risk analysis related to repair and design. Also, who are the independent consultants that have been hired by SONGS and the NRC? The reason for my information quest is professional interest because the generation company I work for has close ties to EIX and is a sister to SCE. There is little information being released.
Not looking for press releases but more technical information or hands on perspective related to this event.
Thanks

Mitsu was too cleaver by half on this design. Traditional support baffles at the middle of the u-bend would have prevented this. I am glad that it wasn't mine.
