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 present status and the experimental results of the initial phase of JT-60U up to the February 1992 are summarized. After the completion of the major modification in March 1991, total of more than three months of shut down work has been done to install four tangential neutral beams. Along with the present main target to conduct an effective conditioning of machine and heating systems in order to get the highest performance of JT-60U, a number of new findings are being studied in areas of plasma control, divertor, LH current drive, etc. Future plans of new 500 keV negative-ion beam system and a proposal of further modification are also described.
