California democratic senator Barbara boxer by federal regulators revealed on Wednesday, she said suggest a practical tool, run it hurt the shortcut key, safe file, then open the shutter's Fred's nuclear probe.
Is located in San Diego and Los Angeles between coastal plants to produce power in more than a year of time, through a tiny radiation leakage cause of damage for radioactive steam generator tube to hundreds of discovery in January 2012.
The boxers a letter to the United States nuclear regulatory commission chairman ellison macfarlane said, her office have a confidential report, southern California Edison company and mitsubishi heavy industries, the Japanese company, the establishment of a generator, know equipment before installation design problem.
The boxers, the environment and public works committee chairman said, mitsubishi company written report, caused the attention, Edison Chen and the contractor refused to safe modification and avoid a more strict safety review.
"Security, there is no shortcut to supervision, must be nuclear facilities, the design of the driving factors and NRC (saint augustine's Frey) whether can restart determination," betrayal signed by representative Edward machi in the letter, said: ma
, NRC said in a statement, it receives letter ", will check all available information to judge whether the factory can meet our safety standards, if be allowed to start."
Edison said, in a statement, the company attaches great importance to the letter of the proposed all charges ", and will comply with all the information and documents requirements.
: "SCE firmly committed to its business saint augustine's Frey and transparent examination, the public and the safety of the employees," the company said.
Mitsubishi spokesman Patrick boyer did not immediately respond to seek review of electronic mail and telephone message.
The disclosure of the boxers further cloud future double dome plant, this is seeking NRC license no. 2 unit reactor to start and run it in reducing power consumption, the hope can slow down or stop pipe damage.
Serious damage of the future of unit 3 is not clear.
Last year, the federal officials accused a bad computer analysis design flaws, due in large part to unprecedented wear tube in the factory. They found that the analysis of mitsubishi company greatly miscarriage of justice, water and steam flow reactor.
Wear is a common steam generator tube, but, saint augustine's Frey erosion speed startled officials, because this equipment is relatively new. Generator is mounted on a $670 million overhaul, and in April 2010, no. 2 unit operation in February 2011 unit 3.
The boxers letter saint augustine's Frey a long-standing problem - and not solved - in the new weight. Edison modify generator before they installed widely, the company has for its business license, a process that could take months, if not years of revision?
Edison has been that this correction is unnecessary. However, the nuclear power industry environmentalists and other critics claimed that the company cheated the NRC degree of change, and hope that the agency found that improper behavior of the company.
These changes include 400 tube added to each generator, than the original, and installation, aims to minimize the tube wear and vibration of the V support. According to the file, replace the generator weighed nearly 24 tons, than the original generator.
Edison and mitsubishi, written in the trade magazine, last year's engineer said, they need to design of the generator, only need a small change in the rest of the factory, but also meet the test qualification as a "real", or basically the same, replacement, this will let they can from the federal regulators must advance group under the condition of the installation.
The boxers, said the report records, Edison company and mitsubishi refused to some security modifications, apparently because they believe, they may be forced the company to seek lengthy approval amendment. It also shows that decided to refuse to other security changes to make contribution to the design error, "she said.
The boxers office no report.
Like a lot of steel fire hydrant, generators, in the reactor thermal control and operation of the things like car radiator. In saint augustine's Frey, each stand 65 feet tall and weighs 1300000 pounds, and 9727 U tube, every inch of the diameter of the three quarters.
Overall, NRC records show that in 15000, the investigators found that the friction and wear in vibration, in different degree, in 3401 tube factory four generator inside, each reactor.
