S. Korea watchdog finds cracks in nuclear reactor
Seoul (AFP) Nov 9, 2012
South Korea said Friday minor cracks were found at a nuclear reactor
that have not caused a leak but still mean the facility will be kept
offline, prompting fears of power shortages in the coming winter.
The cracks were found during maintenance work on control rod tubes at a
unit in the Yeonggwang nuclear complex, where two other reactors were
recently shut down for several months to replace http://www.nuclearpowerdaily.com/reports/S_Korea_watchdog_finds_cracks_in_nuclear_reactor_999.html

Seoul (UPI) Nov 9, 2012
A South Korean nuclear power plant will be shut down for weeks as
regulators investigate cracks found in control rod tunnels, officials
said.
The Korean Hydro & Nuclear Power Co. said there is no risk of
radiation leaks but the shutdown of the Yonggwan reactor will present
problems for the country's already stretched power supply going into the
winter months.
