>I would put the risk of old NPPs with cracks in their 40 year old concrete more on the gas boiler side.

Are you referencing something specific that isn't bullshit?

Tihange and Doel have had incidents and significant maintenance downtime related to issues with concrete.

		So we should burn more gas for some decades because of the ceiling of a backup system in the nonnuclear part of the plant? Is this like when Van der Straeten with obviously no ulterior motive whatsoever decided we needed to shut them down over the ultrasonic scanning of those vats that nobody else does? Knowing this country we'll drain a shitload of money trough a bunch of committees. Do feasibility studies of nonsensical shit and then eventually fix and improve support of the ceiling anyway whilst the backup system keeps working ...but at 10 times to cost, in a slow way and a couple years later than one would expect.
