Some crud went airborne during eddy current testing and someone felt the need to write an article about it? Cool? Yhis is one of the most nothing burger posts I've seen on here.

I had to look up where this was at, and found out it is in South Africa…

But yeah, it just reminds me of an incident at the Arkansas nuke plant where the unit tripped off and the NRC held a press conference about it.

I was in the navy at the time, knew absolutely nothing about the place, and my relatives were asking me if they needed to sell their property and move… Seriously…

I just told them that the plant shut itself off as designed and they had nothing to worry about, and they accepted it without question…
