"largest man-made tunnel structure in the world"
[edit]The first sentence says the plant is the "largest man-made tunnel structure in the world", but the source which is referenced does not say this. It does say "the world's largest artificial cave", but that's a different claim. Also, I dounbt it's the world's largest tunnel structure, as mining can bring about very large ones (e. g., under Germany's Ruhr area).
Any objections to my changing the article accordingly?JeanClaudeFox (talk) 15:44, 3 July 2020 (UTC)
- There is a huge room near the exit, which might be what is referred to as the largest single man-made underground space. That's without using 'cave' to refer to the overall volume of rooms connected by tunnels. Also from vague memory, after visiting the reactor, our tour went through the top of a deep well type structure. It was difficult to tell how deep it was because it was dimly lit, maybe that could have been the 'largest artificial cave'? Or maybe they were all counted as part of the same cave? Given the ambiguities it would be reasonable to alter the wording to something like 'has been described as' ... 'the world's largest artificial cave'. Extua (talk) 09:37, 4 July 2020 (UTC)
