interesting read @ fitter.. my question .. why would they do a test on the eccs system if they were operating like it said>>. duh
by dean 5/27/2011 12:18:06 AM

@ fitter.. go to the web page and open the bwr manuals.. and tech manual.. there is a sketch of the control rod and safety rod systems penetrations.. the guide tube would be integral to the control rod penetration... the leak is small and I wouldn't thing off normal
by dean 5/27/2011 12:20:07 AM

no.. usually the vessel structural has a guide tube for the drives to go through ,..

@dean the link fitter is refering to
www.klimaatkeuze.nlIt is worth noting that the elbow joint that failed was not part of the original design. The pipe had been remodeled - according to Chubu Electric this had been done in order to prevent a nearby valve from leaking. Identical remodeling had been carried out at Onagawa 1 (2000), Fukushima I-3 (1991), Fukushima I-5 (1994) and Kashiwazaki-kariwa 1 (1996). All of these reactors are in the list of 14 reactors whose piping is to be checked.

@ fitter interesting the fukushima vent.. hmmmmm.... @ elaine the probably did a remodel because they couldn't find the valve that was close to the bend and so they just fabricated a new piece... not sure tho
