AREVA analysis of San Onofre Unit 2 steam generators reveals new twist in restart debate

For the last year, Southern California Edison has been working to resolve the serious problems and deficiencies found in the newly installed replacement steam generators at both Unit 2 and Unit 3.  As workers have removed the fuel from Unit 3, it seems unlikely that the unit will return to service.  The utility has been strongly advocating the restart of the Unit 2 reactor at reduced power to test their theory that the steam generators will not fail completely like they did in Unit 3.http://enformable.com/2013/02/areva-analysis-of-san-onofre-unit-2-steam-generators-reveals-new-twist-in-restart-debate/
