Does anyone know how serious this is?
"When maintenance workers recently unpacked the replacement kettles and performed non-destructive testing, they found thousands of cracks in the steel shells, according to sources on the site."
"Boiling Cold understands the vessels, called propane kettles, currently in use on LNG Trains 1 and 3 are of the same design and are built in the same factory as the cracked kettles."
"Chevron was asked if it was safe to continue to operate these kettles. The US major did not answer."
