Post by: wingnut on Mar 13, 2011, 05:52

Local paper says Cook shutting down due to hydrogen leak on U1 generator. Any in-plant info?

I was just there on Monday.  They had contractors pouring in preparing for this quick maintenance outage.  If I recall they said the leak occured somewhere between the steam reheaters/moisture seperators and U1's turbine generator.  Don't take my word for it though.

Edit:  I was under the impression there was a steam leak.  I dont think they mentioned anything to me about a hydrogen leak but from the looks of it and from what I overheard, they had plans to take care of a few things while offline.
