Why must there be a flagship powerplant? Seems a stupid concept to me. If you see 5 turds floating down the river do you point at one and yell 'that is a flagship shit if e'er I seed one!'.Ok sunshine, what's your flagship. You are DYING to tell us.
There has been so much shit written about the failure it is pathetic. Journos pointing at B1/2 cooling tower announcing there is no smoke coming from it. Never is dumbshit.
Let's find out what happened for the sake of other plant and personnel. From what I hear the LP casing has been ruptured and that suggests H2 cooler rupture but that is supposition from someone looking at phone pics, could be anything.
What I don't get is how C4 is supposedly a worse CO2 emitter per MWh than a number of subcritical plants which give away 4-10% of efficiency.
