"The company has received overseas orders for 31 units, mainly from North America and Europe. " Hmmm - could be interesting to track those and compare corrosion.

Hi, San Onofre, menioned durring the Japan crisis, is leaking and corroding pipes fast: http://www.scpr.org/blogs/news/2012/03/22/5205/san-onofre-reactors-down-indefinitely/ http://sciencedude.ocregister.com/2012/02/02/nuclear-leak-damage-to-both-reactor-units/167503/ What is going on- any...
