A spokesperson (from GOA?) was interviewed on the BBC Rado today. She said that about half the existing 31 were beyond their design life or had problems of some sort (I think thats what she said). Basically she was saying that at current predicted failure and replacement rates the number may drop below 24 sometime in the not to distant future.
