On peut signaler la détection, en juillet 1979 lors des essais physiques à puissance nulle de la tranche de Bugey 5, d’une anomalie particulière survenue sur les crayons de poisons consommables réalisés en Pyrex(verre silico-boraté). Ces crayons étaient fabriqués en deux parties; celles-ci s’étaient séparées lors du transport, laissant apparaître un vide qui avait provoqué un pic de flux au milieu du cœur. 1, record 2, French, - crayon%20de%20poison%20consommable
