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 JET experimental programme has been extended from its former formal closing date, end of 1992, to the end of 1996. The extension allows the study of plasma operation with a pumped divertor to be installed in the JET vacuum vessel during a shutdown in 1992–1993[1]. As a consequence the final phase of JET, which involves the use of tritium to study D-T plasmas, will be delayed to 1996. In view of this delay it was decided to adopt a stepwise approach to the introduction of tritium in JET and to carry out a tritium experiment within limits imposed by restrictions on vessel activation and tritium usage. The objectives were:
