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.”

Ferritic stainless steel(HT-9) is a prospective candidate for a first wall material of a fusion reactor. It experiences magnetic stress due to magnetization in magnetic field. A ferromagnetic cantilever of mild steel was provided to carry out a test on magnetomechanical behavior and to compare with theoretical prediction. The theoretical prediction was made for an infinitely wide beam plate and magnetic stiffness was taken into account. Field distribution of the finite specimen is very different from one of an infinite specimen. It is made clear that deformation is proportional to the squared field for smaller applied field while linear with the field for larger one.
