And they don't help themselves by using the word "reactor" when they
mean "boiler".

It could have been worse. It could have been the same weld problem they
had on some of their French reactor containment vessels in 2010.

The French went for much more replication than we did so, not
surprisingly, "type faults" can happen (but rarely). However we have
never had more than two sites nominally the same. So we've had a huge
range of very different faults, having the expertise dispersed over so
much different plant.
