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 since 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. local time 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.”

Steady state permeation behavior of deuterium implanted into oxide free copper (50 µm thickness, 99.99% purity) and F82H (0.2 mm thickness) was investigated. The rate limiting process of the permeation through copper was determined from the results of the numerical analysis by TMAP code. Based on the numerical analysis, recombination coefficient and diffusion coefficient in the implantation region were derived, and implantation effects on the diffusion coefficient in the implantation region were also discussed. In the F82H experiment, strong effect of low energy deuterium implantation on the deuterium transport in the implantation region was observed.
