TomC, why do you post "stuff" like the San Onofre steam generator transportation . You know darn good and well that some idiot (like me) will spend half the evening searching for information on that "train". Since the transportation of the steam generators was done at night, the videos are not very good. The best one I found was here: http://abclocal.go.com/kabc/story?section=news/local/orange_county&id=8273330. What an amazing adventure.During the search, I ran across a TON of hits on the very premature failure of the replacement steam generators and the ultimate decision to close the plant. The articles and blogs are very diverse in their thoughts on nuclear power and all the related "politics". One of the most interesting reads was a failure report (I love failure reports ): http://libcloud.s3.amazonaws.com/93/86/5/1285/Fairewinds_FOE_Cascading_Steam_Generator_Failures_San_Onofre_2012_4_12.pdf. That report prepared by Fairewind Assiociates is very interesting. It talks about all of the seemingly minor design changes the Edison made on the replacement steam generator design. I read several Fairewind studies and my guess is that they are not totally objective (some of their studies were commissioned by Friends of the Earth), but the data they present is pretty convincing.How's that for thread drift?Jim
