NRC urged to disclose details about Calif. plant's steam generators
The Nuclear Regulatory Commission should release documentation about the design of the problematic steam generators at Southern California Edison's San Onofre nuclear plant in California, said Sen. Barbara Boxer, D-Calif. The senator wants to determine whether the company bypassed any federal standards by modifying the components' design. "Concerns have been raised that design changes in the steam generators contributed to accelerated wear in tubes carrying radioactive water," Boxer said in a letter.
