devices and cooling systems. PFAS are extremely useful. Their fluorine-studded carbon chains allow grease and water to roll off textiles and protect industrial systems from corrosion and heat damage. But the strong carbon-fluorine bonds cannot be broken by natural processes. So when PFAS leaks into the environment from factories, homes and vehicles,...
Secondary circuit in longitudinal and circumferential directions. The escaping hot water turned into steam and scalded workers; five died and six others were injured. The cause was corrosion and sloppiness: the wall thickness of the line had thinned from 10 mm initially to around 1,5 mm, and the line is said to have not been checked since the reactor was put into operation. The...

Last spring, a nuclear power plant had to be shut down for the first time in May in order to prevent the Gironde in the southwest of the country on the Atlantic from heating up even more. In addition to the massive corrosion in the crack reactors, which is causing the shutdown of many nuclear reactors, the lack of cooling water for the nuclear power plants is now becoming more and more of a problem... * Energy transition | Renewables | Warmth...

the government is trying to act at a political level. Is the safety of the Cattenom nuclear power plant guaranteed? It was only recently announced that pipe parts would also be replaced in Unit 2, which had previously been left out of the issue of stress corrosion.
