If anyone knows... How are these new plants different with respect to tritium contamination? Many of the the older units have found tritium in the dirt and ground water under their nuclear plants. Will the new ones be any better off, and if so, what will be different about them?
will the location of the instrumentation be placed inside the containment building.if so how are they to maintained. are plNNING TO HAVE SOBOTS MAINTAIN THESE INSTRUMENTS
ANONYMOUS PLEASE INDICATE WHERE THE LOCATION INSTRUMENTATION INSIDE THE CONTAINMENT . ARE YOU PLANNING TO USE ROBOTS TO MAINTAIN THESE INSTRUMENTS
