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.”

Accuracy of earlier reported models for predicting liquid mixture viscosity for dry and water-saturated tri-n-butyl phosphate (TBP)/n-dodecane solutions is stated to be ±20%. Interaction parameters for the popular Grunberg-Nissan model have been computed, and liquid mixture viscosity has been modeled for a binary system of dry TBP/n-dodecane as well as the ternary system of water-saturated TBP/n-dodecane solutions at 298.15 K. In addition, dynamic viscosity of TBP has been modeled on the basis of an extension of the Andrade equation for an extended temperature range of 208.15 to 338.15 K.
