Cook U1 Turbine Problems

[Rennhack]

I heard they got the turbine put together, and was powering the unit up.  Is that correct?

Unit 1 is in Mode 3

Turbine assembly is moving steadily forward

Please note, the AEP (DC Cook) legal team has requested that we do not display any pictures which relate to the recent turbine issue. 

Your assistance in this matter is appreciated. 

Now that the unit has returned to service does that request still stand?  Has AEP released any photographs to the industry.  I know some are out there as I have seen them but I am wondering about the owners approach still.

By now anyone they wanted to see the pictures already has

HydroDave63,

Unfortunately there are people out there who have not seen the pictures especially turbine engineers outside of the North American nuclear industry.  There are some valuable lessons, for all turbine engineers, from this incident that get reinforced with pictures of the train wreck.

Does anyone have pictures that they are in a position to share?  I have seen some but I am always interested in more.

Likewise, started there in "79" and would like to see what happened to the old bird.
