... especially since it does not detract from the main cause that the world of nuclear occult obviously. Which is the fact of the premature wear of the power plants, which can not - in terms of physics itself - withstand the heavy constraints that they are subjected to by exposure to radiation, over time ...
Inexorable extension of cracks:

They are currently installing "tie rods", a DIY which consists neither more nor less in noting that they can do nothing but try to reduce the development of cracks:

... so they can only see the cracks and other degradations that are spreading and are well known in the BA environment. Real cancer of the materials.
Worse, they continue to hide their faces:

Before we closed his mouth?
Forces Motrices Bernoises, in charge of the Mühleberg nuclear power plant wrote:BKW aims for a long-term operation of the CNM as long as safety and profitability are guaranteed.
I would have sworn, however, that neither profitability (waste storage, material constraints, dismantling, etc.) nor security, could be guaranteed! Otherwise why would we have decided to leave the nuclear!
Small historical: while during this time in Parliament, one is worried about the tide of the reactor which flees:
In 2009, Teuscher Franziska of the Federal Assembly - The Swiss Parliament wrote:We learned in October 2009 that
a crack would have appeared on the tank of the reactor of the Mühleberg nuclear power plant. In other countries, this would have justified a shutdown of the reactor.
Why did the Federal Council not decide to stop the plant?

In 2011 Teuscher Franziska and Ursula Wyss of the Federal Assembly - The Swiss Parliament wrote:The Federal Council is responsible for:
- to reconsider its decision of 2009 and to withdraw from the Mühleberg nuclear power plant its unlimited license to operate over time. This plant must be decommissioned without delay;
- to oblige the federal authorities and the Bern Motor Forces to publish all the documents relating to the operational safety of the Mühleberg plant;
- to inform the population immediately about the information strategy and the evacuation plan in the event of an accident in Mühleberg.

The Federal Council made the first impact immediately after the nuclear disaster in Fukushima, Japan, by ordering the five nuclear power plants in operation in our country to undergo a security check. It has long been known that Swiss nuclear power plants are not designed to withstand potential earthquakes. In 1999, the surveillance authorities had already demanded proof of their resistance to earthquakes. The results, released in 2007, show that the risk of seeing nuclear power plants hit by an earthquake is twice as high as previously thought. The supervisory authority required operators to consider a higher risk.

Meanwhile at the central ....:
Forces Motrices Bernoises, in charge of the Mühleberg nuclear power plant wrote:During the annual 2011 review,
the mantle of the reactor core of the Mühleberg Nuclear Power Plant (CNM) was inspected using a new control system for accurate measurement of crack depth. As a result, contrary to the assumptions made so far, no cracks are passing through the mantle of the reactor core. Otherwise,
existing cracks have not spread, or very weakly.

You're not the guys, the new techniques are just for the purpose of increasing the yield and ... minimizing the cracks: talking about those of the mantle while the big unresolved problem is that of the reactor vessel herself!!!
We live a great world!
