long; Stress Engineering Services indicated "failures of the incident bolts initiated due to hydrogen stress cracking" and "it is likely that atomic hydrogen present in the bolts due to the plating process (and not removed via a subsequent bake-out) played a major role in the failures" (GE issued GE Safety Notice SN 13-001, REV.
