I spoke to someone involved with Mid-Continent and #1385. This is what they had to say about 1385 getting a new boiler. These are not my views, nor do they represent Mid-Continent in any way. Please, no attacks. [quote] The short answer is that we don't know if the old boiler is beyond repair. There was never an ultrasound study done. And, given the prevailing atmosphere, there will never be one done. The guys got out the torches back in 2000 and cut out what they thought was bad and, after looking at what they had done decided that a new boiler was needed. Those of us who read Part 230 understood that the boiler was probably economically repairable, certainly for less than the cost of a new, welded boiler. But we will never know.  The FRA will not pre-approve a boiler DESIGN. They only pass judgement on the completed article. That means that a new boiler is a big $500K risk as only a small percentage of all the new boilers built since part 230 went into effect have been approved by the FRA.  [/quote] They asked for their name/username not to be mentioned.
