As many as 16 critical parts in the Davis-Besse reactor lid are cracked or flawed, and the problem could get worse.Engineers expect to find additional problems when they conduct a third round of high-tech inspections in the coming weeks.The cracks can lead to radioactive coolant seeping into reactor lid, corroding it and ultimately leaking into the heavy-walled building containing the reactor. That's what happened to Davis-Besse in 2002.
