Final step left before
Vogtle loads fuel
By Joe Brady, Editor
for
The Times
The completion of
the Vogtle 3 & 4 nuclear
expansion site near
Waynesboro, Georgia, is
an important milestone
in Georgia Power's
commitment to providing
clean, safe, reliable, and
affordable energy to its
customers. Georgia Power
recently announced the
successful completion of
all 364 inspections, tests,
and analyses, collectively
known as ITAACs, on
Vogtle Unit 4. These
ITAACs ensure that the
unit meets strict nuclear
safety and quality standards
as required by Southern
Nuclear's Combined
Operating License.
The next step is to await
the receipt of the 103(g)
finding from the Nuclear
Regulatory Commission
(NRC), which will
document that the license
acceptance criteria for
Unit 4 have been met.
This finding will confirm
that the new unit has been
constructed and will be
operated in accordance
with its Combined License
and NRC regulations. Once
this finding is received,
no further NRC findings
are necessary, allowing
Southern Nuclear to
proceed with loading fuel
and initiating the startup
sequence.
The team at the site
is diligently preparing
for Unit 4's fuel load
and startup. All 157 fuel
assemblies required for
the operation of the reactor
have been delivered to the
site. Each fuel assembly,
measuring 14 feet tall,
underwent inspection and
was transferred to the new
fuel storage racks before
being placed into the spent
fuel pool, where all the
assemblies will be stored
until they are loaded into
the Unit 4 reactor during
fuel load.
The new Vogtle units
will play a crucial role
in Georgia Power's
efforts to meet its energy
demands and serve its
2.7 million customers.
Once operational, each of
the new units will have
the capacity to produce
enough electricity to power
approximately 500,000
homes and businesses.
Southern Nuclear will be
responsible for operating
the new units on behalf
of the co-owners, which
include Georgia Power,
Oglethorpe Power, MEAG
Power, and Dalton Utilities.
Crossing the Ogeechee River
A Classic Military Maneuver
When an army decides to cross a large stream it is vunerable to attack by the enemy. Army
commanders will reduce this vunerablility by crossing the stream at different locations.
Whenever possible, each crossing is usually within close distance to the others. The left
wing of Union Major General, Henry W. Slocum, faced a similar situation in late November
of 1864. As it neared the Ogeechee River during the march to the sea.
This group consisted of over twenty eight thousand soldiers pus thousands of horses,
mules, and a very large herd of cattle.
The Left Wing crossed the Ogeechee River at three different locations. On Monday,
November 28th, Union Brigadier General William T. Ward's division of the 20th Corps left
Davisboro, allowed by the 14th Corps division of Brigadier General William P. Carlin. They
were protecting the Left Wing's supply train of more than 1,200 wagons. Their advance
guard, led by the 33rd Indiana were across the river and moving toward Louisville. The
Indianans crossed on the 30th, removed the bridge and marched on to Louisville, Ga.
All Left Wing divisions converged on Louisville. The delay in moving wagons and
livestock across the river while individuals and small groups of soldiers crossed on their
own and entered Louisville without officers spelled trouble for the town.
See ya next week!
