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 laboratory handling tritium requires a large variety of procedures for the assay of tritium concentrations over a very wide range (10−9 Ci/m3a to 106 Ci/m3). The measurement of tritium can be conveniently categorized into four levels from very low concentrations to very high concentrations (up to 100% T2). This paper will describe in detail the monitoring and analytical procedures used, as well as operational experience with the various equipment, in the CRNL Tritium Laboratory.a1 Ci = 37 GBq
