" Inspections by the ASN (Autorité de Sûreté Nucléaire) in recent months aroused its concerns about the lack of an emergency stop that would be able to simultaneously halt both the polar crane's trolleys and two temporary trolleys (referred to as temporary lifting devices, TLDs), and also the lack of a global load limiter in the case of simultaneous use of at least two of the crane's trolleys.
The ASN says that it has not yet received all the answers and guarantees it requires from EDF, and has now instructed the company not to use the equipment until a final compliance report has been completed and an action plan to remedy any non-compliance has been implemented."
The regulator invents an arbitrary and totally unlikely scenario, and demands to know 'what they would do if it ever happened'.
Meanwhile construction is halted, some redesign presumably has to take place so a new button with new wires can be out in marked 'this one stops everything' and the whole design re-certified because 7 new cables have been added to it since last certifications. And of couse these will have to be tested every time its due for a statutory outage, and if they don't work, the reactor will have to be shut down for 'safety reasons'
there's another 6 months and a billion in 'consultants' and interest charges gone then.
