The steam generators are inside the containment dome. Well, that is wonderful but it is a heat exchanger, the supposed clean end goes to the turbine and that is outside the containment dome.

Get enough leaking tubes on the reactor side of the heat exchanger and voila, you get radioactive water in the clean circuit.

I love nuclear power and I blame this on A) Mitsubishi and B) whoever accepted the design if it was modified.

We need to get Mitsubishi to fix the issue, pay for the downtime and let them get on with making clean electricity.

Oh yeah, if the design was modified, who signed off on the initial design as well as the final product? If Doctors are willing to sacrifice their license to hand out pain killers by the handful, I can see an inspector being more interested in the green stuff in the paperwork, than the results of the actual tests or design.

“We need to get Mitsubishi to fix the issue, pay for the downtime and let them get on with making clean electricity.”

But first people have to address the issue..instead of broadly asserting there are no safety problems in any nuclear plant.

And unfortunately, what you see on this thread is prevalent in the US.

Just blind assertions of safety without even knowing if it is safe.

I really wish someone would pursue this with Mitsubishi
