| I know some of what is going on there too. They are replacing lots of stuff with
modern things, designed to be as similar as possible to the originals, to
resolve reliability issues, while avoiding severe difficulties with the safety
case. Certain non-nuclear equipment such as turbine monitoring is just going
to be replicated using modern, reliable components. It is almsot entirely
analogue, and they have wisely ruled out any new systems which contain
software. By the way, I think the CANDU is used only in Canada and India,
which is unfortunate as it is actually a very good and potentially extgremely
safe design, especially compared to the GE-Hitachi BWR, which despite all the
alleged enhancements to the latest version is still something that I hope never
to see in the UK. You don't fix something that is fundamentally wrong by bolting
a few seemingly clever bits around the outside. [ Reply to This | Parent | # ]
