OK, I guesss its time to put the cards on the table.

This is a 40 year old reactor.  In fact, I heard it was supposed to be decommisioned this month.

Containment vessel has become weaken over time due to high radiation fluxes.

This is known as embrittlement.

Check the links:

And by the way, we have the same issue here.

What pisses me off, is the so-called experts have not yet mentioned this in MSM.

This is common knowledge in the industry.
