It smells like nuclear end ... in Belgium!

[Christophe]

Funny, look how the Huy (Thiange) power plant was demolished in the comments on its Google business page: https://www.google.be/search?q=centrale+huy

In particular by the Germans ... it's not much (67 comments) but significant of a desire to stop nuclear power across the Rhine

Besides, we will wonder the usefulness of a google business page for a nuclear power plant ???

Hello? It's for a Mox delivery and a plutonium removal!

Brief history of Belgian nuclear setbacks ...

Doel 1 restarted this morning at 11 a.m .: http://www.levif.be/actualite/belgique/ ... 46745.html

Until when?

Christophe, Below your link:

There is this one:

We did even better here: 13 legs!

These reactors had then restarted and then been shut down for the time of additional tests. The microcracks in question, the thickness of a cigarette paper, are due to hydrogen bubbles present since the construction of the two tanks.

It seems odd to me that hydrogen can be present in the metal since construction since the hydrogen seal is not obvious.

[Christophe]

Good remark! And what would H2 do in steel ???

The sentence may be incorrect and means "during" construction?

In any case, a crack in a cigarette paper on a reactor core ... well, it's far from trivial !!

Who plugged the leaks? Walloons or Flemings?

The intense radiation on impurities make protons which accumulate over time, not migrating fast enough, in a very thick metal !!

This, yes ! But the sentence implies that these are hydrogen steel tanks ...

After a proton and Hydrogen ... it's not far away indeed!

Talking about a "leak" of hydrogen is still less scary than a leak of protons ... obviously ...

Radioactivity are projectiles (neutrons etc.) almost at the speed of light which bombard with great energy (Million times per atom the chemical energy of diesel fuel per atom) on all matter, metal, concrete, jostling everything , tearing down atoms, and it is a miracle that the vats resist 40 years and more to this enormous bombardment without breaking down this metal into dust, thanks to spontaneous annealing !!

Maybe he confused tritium and hydrogen? hydrogen is less fearful than tritium. Maybe a word game of nucleocrat?
