All welds on the main pressure hull of CSSX a x-ray (and ultasonic..,
and coulor tested..).

I want to go to 250 meter deep (820 feet) with a security factor of 2.
(collapse 1640 feet)
I have here all the films (kodac x-ray film) under my pillow - I check
them myself
a half day - I sleep very well know. 

I just have in my contract with the boiler company that they are
responsible 
for there weldings in anyway. They payed the x-rays.. 

Homebuild and professional - not equal on different sides.. 

Good night here in Europe - Carsten
