An environmental group said the NRC approved a flawed corrosion protection plan for Davis-Besse reactors at Oak Harbor Erie. The commission says the plan is fine and the fault lies with company implementation. Boric acid nearly ate through a 26 inch steel cap on Plant 1 during a routine shutdown, the most extensive corrosion ever found in the US.
