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.”

The experimental industrial plant for hydrogen isotope separation on the basis of the methods of chemical isotope exchange between water and hydrogen and water electrolysis (CECE process) is under operation in Petersburg Nuclear Physics Institute. The large-scale studies of hydrogen isotope separation have been ongoing at this plant since 1995. The plant is also used for reprocessing tritium heavy water waste; several tons of reactor quality heavy water have been obtained. The EVIO-4 code allows one to predict the concentration profile in the column under parameter changes. The calculation results are in compliance with the experimental data. The 18,000 hours experience gained during the plant operation shows the high efficiency of isotope separation by CECE process and allows us to regard this process with considerable promise for the industrial use, in particular, for water purification from tritium.
