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.”

A theory of multicomponent liquid hydrogen solutions is presented which corrects for nonidealities in vapor-liquid equilibria. The second virial coefficient is used to represent gas nonideality, and a binary interaction parameter is used for liquid nonideality. The latter is the primary contribution for the deviation from Raoult's Law of H2-D2 solutions between 15 and 27 K. Estimates are made for the parameters needed to describe the D2-DT-T2 solutions of hydrogen fusion interest.
