Lets not forget a few fundamental factors here but you mind may well be made up and won’t be changed.
There is a pile of hatred from the general public working on average $15.00/hr and knowing that highly skilled and qualified staff at a nuclear facility are making much more.
On numerous occasions it's cheaper to scrap stock that doesn't meet nuclear specs then send it back to the suppliers. Do you want just any old valve or piece of steel in the nuclear reactor near you?
As for welding rod etc it costs more to hire extra stock keepers to return materials of questionable quality back to stores. Everything has to be double checked for contamination. Then reams of documenting paperwork for each item. You can't expect the plants to keep ISO level of standards and not have the supporting documents/proof.
Come on, $10 million in steel? There are steel mills that don't have that much in their entire inventory. Darlington hasn’t had any large construction jobs going since the late 80’s.
Short pieces and odds/sods are cut up and scraped. This isn't a farm where two or three short pieces are cobbled together to do a job. Do you want extra welded joints or take short cuts in a 1600psi 600F heavy water heat transport header? Or if the metal is rust pitted, it’s gotta go.
If you want power during the week when demand is highest, don't gripe about maintence work being performed on weekends. You just can't walk up to a 1.3 million HP reactor, hit the off switch, do an hours work, then hit the on switch. Outages take hundreds of hours of planning to maintain redundant power supplies, cooling systems, access control to normally non accessible areas while on power. And the list goes on from planning of parts, procedures and juggling multiple work groups whose work has to done in a particular order or share a common work area.
And yes as in all large companies, armed forces and government there is waste. Why do you think it's different there than anywhere else?
If you want to see a sharp Nuclear operation, have a look at how Duncan Hawthorn has brought two 850 MW Bruce A units back for 600 million and on time. Compared to the American buffoons who spent 2.5 billion to restore one small 540 MW Pickering unit three years late. Then walked off with 40 million in their pockets for just four people.
Pretty handy too, for the coal plants in New York, Michigan and Ohio to sell us power at peak rates. After the same American consultants insisted we shut down enough Ontario nuclear base load units to equal the amount of power there was available to purchase from the US.
