Re: GAO Opens DB Investigation (correction)
As I remember it right,
There never was a hole as a penetration in the
reactor in DB.
There was a cavity with NO penetration thru the
reactor head.
A cavity has only an entrance which also could be
an exit, if you want to get out. ;-)
A hole has entrance and exit and they are differ.

GAO opening investigation of Davis-Besse nuclear
plant
Thursday, September 05, 2002
CLEVELAND -- The investigative arm of Congress is
opening an investigation
into why federal regulators let a northwest Ohio
nuclear plant stay open
after government engineers suspected it was
leaking coolant.
The General Accounting Office's investigation of
the Davis-Besse plant in
Oak Harbor is the seventh one so far. Workers
found a hole in the reactor
cover in March while the plant was shut down for
routine maintenance. It
remains closed.
Spokesmen for the Nuclear Regulatory Commission
and the plant's operator,
Akron-based FirstEnergy Corporation, told The
Plain Dealer they would
cooperate with this latest investigation.
Several reviews already have said plant managers
and the NRC missed the
growing hole for up to eight years.
GAO spokesman Bob Robinson says the agency will
begin its work within the
next three months.
