If that's the case, then why not swap out the entire reactor vessel. Open the pressure hull, disconnect the piping from the reactor vessel to lift the entire thing out, and pop in a brand new reactor vessel that had already been precertified by the shore guys and is ready for install just like swapping out a battery. Seems like it would be easier.
Thanks for the insight.
