Vogtle-3 shuts down for valve issue
One of the new Vogtle units in Georgia was shut down unexpectedly on Monday last week for a valve issue that has been investigated and repaired. According to multiple local news outlets, Georgia Power reported on July 17 that unit 3 was back in service.
Southern Company spokesperson Jacob Hawkins confirmed that Vogtle-3 went off line at 9:25 p.m. on July 8 “due to lowering water levels in the steam generators caused by a valve issue on one of the three main feedwater pumps.”

NIFS (National Institute for Fusion Science) Atomic and Molecular Numerical Database is introduced. Atomic and molecular data of various collision processes in plasma are collected and input to the database. The database is accessible via internet and data can be retrieved by querying an element name, an ionic stage, or other conditions. Numerical data are shown as a table and a graph which can be downloaded as a PDF file. Our other data activities on data compilation, evaluation, and production are also introduced.
