Re: Harrisberger's Fourth Law
Maybe... but not always.
Ask the operator in South Africa's Koeberg nuclear power station who dropped a nut into the one generator (of two) under maintenance, and didn't tell anyone. When the units were brought back online, that nut caused massive generator damage, causing a shutdown, and because the second unit was in maintenance, caused ESKOM, the South African power utility, to have to deal a massive power shortage.
There was lots of finger pointing, although I understand that the French company, Framatome, walked away from that unscathed.
Any South African Reg readers will know this story well because it led to so-called a long period of 'load shedding' in the Western Cape region.
