In
2010, Arnie Gundersen released a report theorizing about a
vulnerability of the ap1000 containment (attached). My summary at the
time: http://green.blogs.nytimes.
I
think he's wrong (and more importantly, the NRC thought he was wrong)
but his complaint was at least within his area of expertise; his
specialty was containments.

Matt:
With due respect, Mr. Gundersen has a lengthy,
publicly accessible resume that does not include any education or
professional experience related to nuclear reactor containment design,
construction, licensing or testing.
He’s
written some reports and provided “expert” witness testimony on the
topic, but the standards of acceptance for those venues are not all that
challenging.
Mr. Gundersen has also claimed to
have been a licensed reactor operator when the only license he ever
held was for a 100 watt research reactor at RPI. He’s published reports
on the effects of tritium and on the flaws in the San Onofre steam
generator.
