Unforeseen
Hello,
In the sentence below, the use of "unforeseen" is correct? Wouldn't it be better to use "unexpected" instead of "unforeseen"? Also, do you think "discovered" fits this sentence? Wouldn't "identified" be a better choice?
"During the planned maintenance downtime of the power plant unforeseen damages were discovered."
Thank you for a comment.
