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.”

Separative performances of “cryogenic-wall” thermal diffuion column were analyzed concerning multi-component hydrogen isotope separation. Newly developed code could explain experimental data of 3-component hydrogen isotope separation in the case where the degree of separation is very large and that the third component is generated on the surface of the hot-wire.
