Beznau nuclear power plant hole and menacing!




by Christophe » 21/10/15, 16:33

And a nuclear power plant which presents more serious concerns ... By dint of pulling the string ...
The first divergence of this reactor dates ... from 1969! Almost 10 years older than the oldest French (Fessenheim, 1978 ... easy to remember it's my age!)

RED ALERT - Numerous holes in the tank of the Beznau nuclear power plant worry the inhabitants of the region.

The first reactor at the Beznau nuclear power plant is in very poor condition. According to the Zurich daily Tages-Anzeiger which revealed this information last week, this plant, located in the north of Switzerland, very close to the German border, is pierced with 1.000 holes. The inhabitants of the Swiss Confederation are not really reassured

Yes.
But the cloud, it will stop at the French border and go up via Germany to Belgium (possibly via Luxembourg).

Only the French border is tight against radioactive clouds.

Ah yes! Am I stupid! It is not false!

But hey, on the other hand, Sarkozy is no longer at his post at the time ... : Mrgreen:

Is the border perhaps more permeable?

The Swiss reactor at Beznau is pierced with a thousand holes

THE WORLD | 13.10.2015/10/28 at XNUMX:XNUMX am | By Marie Maurisse (Geneva, correspondence)

The Beznau power station in July.

The first reactor of the Beznau nuclear power plant, located in the north of Switzerland, very close to the border with Germany, is pockmarked with some "thousand holes". It was the Zurich daily Tages-Anzeiger which revealed the information last Thursday, arousing fright within the peaceful Swiss Confederation. The plant has been undergoing revision since this summer and its two reactors are currently shut down. But how long has it been able to operate with these holes? These irregularities were noted on the pressure vessel of the oldest reactor, an armored steel container 10 meters high and 15 centimeters thick which houses the nuclear fuel.

Similar research is currently taking place on the second reactor. Regarding possible leaks, the Federal Inspectorate for Nuclear Security (IFSN), based in Bern, is reassuring. "We are not talking about 'holes', but rather about 'fault indications'," said his spokesperson, David Suchet. An investigation is underway. One of their experts is permanently on site, alongside the approximately 500 employees who work there.

But, for socialist deputy Roger Nordmann, no doubt, it is indeed "925 cracks which are on average 0,7 millimeters in diameter". As a member of the Parliamentary Committee on the Environment, Regional Planning and Energy, he had access to the full report made by the operator of the power plant, the ...

The tank of the Beznau nuclear power plant in Switzerland is pierced with a thousand holes ...
Beznau I is the oldest reactor in the world.

It is located some 200 km from Strasbourg, less than a hundred kilometers from Mulhouse. Beznau, the Swiss nuclear power plant, is quite simply the oldest operating nuclear power plant in the world: one of its reactors was commissioned in 1969.

In recent days, the Swiss press has been unleashed, because, in addition to its dilapidation (for the record, that of Fessenheim, in Alsace, was put into service in 1978), Beznau has a reactor vessel pierced with holes. it is not trivial. Our Swiss colleagues even compare it to an "emmental". The tank would thus have a thousand holes, with an average diameter of 0,5 cm (5 mm), if we believe Le Matin. The operator of the plant, the energy distribution company Axpo, had already announced in July certain "irregularities" in the material of the tanks. More than "irregularities", they are indeed "holes", so the company could have minimized the problem. Because more than a million people live within a radius of 30 km around the plant and, according to our colleagues, these holes in the tank "could let highly radioactive material escape". Beznau, currently shut down for overhaul (until February 2016), may not restart.

The Beznau nuclear power plant is in any case considered by anti-nuclear power companies to be one of the most dangerous in the world out of nearly 200 studied. It would even be in 4th position behind two Taiwanese plants and an Armenian plant.

"925 cracks which are on average 0,7 millimeters in diameter".


Average values ​​for crack diameters ???? : Shock: : Shock:
Whatever !!!!!!!

In Non Destructive Testing, cracks are usually described by a length not a diameter.
Rather, diameters are given when it is a question for example of "point" corrosion (cracked holes or not).
Does the average value of 0.7 mm in diameter, out of 925 indications, serve to mask that much more dangerous cracks are 5 mm in length? (damage far from negligible depending on the positioning, distribution, effort of the area, etc.).

Between the disinformation of the Nucleocrats and the incompetence of the journalists, we are not close to knowing what is going on ..... and in what sauce we will be irradiated : Evil: :frown: : Cry: :x :|
