Dang, maybe you haven’t figured out that I have better things to do than argue with an over emotional ignorant twit.

I’ve made that mistake before. Sorry I don’t have time to play with you today.

Go ahead and have your freak out panic attack. You don’t need my help to do it.

Please note he has a PH.d but it doesn't say in what. The steam generator nightmare we've known about for years and their way of fixing it was to close off the leaking tubes at both ends, not exactly an ideal solution, especially since the steam generators are almost new.

Also note that they had to say this guy was pro-nuk.

It sounds like resonance is causing the hundreds or thousands of little pipes to resonate along their length which weakens them. There are plenty of easy ways to change the resonance frequency but it requires new steam generators. Just increasing the pipe's diameter and thickness would change the resonance frequency to possibly outside its normal range of operation.

Force Mitsubishi Heavy Industries to replace these steam generators. I wonder if they deviated from the original design to either save cost (usually the reason) or newer alloys were supposed to allow them to change the spec?
