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 realistic estimate of the interionic potential that may account for the experimentally observed fusion rates (≈10−23 deuterium-deuterium fusion/s) in palladium is presented. Moreover, some preliminary calorimetric studies on the hydrogen absorption process in palladium, performed in a cell with pressure up to 20 bars, are discussed. A detailed analysis of the sensitivity and calibration of the calorimetric system is also presented.
