Age may or may not have been a contributing factor today,
Could you put a source on the appropriate lifetime of a BWR reactor of this design? Evidence that 40 years is too long? The only flaw I've seen that could be attributed to age is that the portable generators couldn't be hooked up, presumably due to a change in wiring standards.
