3/18/10

Justin Hernandez and Matt Burch completed the plumbing to U-8's day tank. The radiator structural bolts are all back in place, with the exception of no nuts being used on the bottom 6 bolts having no nuts as per DM. (There is no access to the nuts)
Collins, John Martin, and Doug Laflin installed the fuel level sensor. The tank filled to just shy of 3/4 tank and stopped calling for fuel. MB did an additional visual around the tank for leaks- none found. Day tank declared OK for service.
Pending idle/start test.

Unit 8 day tank

Yesterday we had the PEO report of a diesel leak inside unit 8. Upon further investigation we found a hairline crack in the bottom right side of the day-tank. The unit was taken out of service and Justin Hernandez and Matt Burch removed the tank and MB made a new weld pass to fix the crack.
In addition to U-8, there was a bad injector found in unit 15. JH and MB took the unit out of service and replaced all oil, (NO filters- we did not have enough in stock), replaced the injector- and then started the unit for testing. Unit was declared OK by JH.

Unit 10- back in service

Unit 10 has had the generator installed and tested. It's OK for service and online now.
Next project is moving on to unit 8 generator replacement. The guys from SSID will be here on Monday, the 8th to start that job.

• Today Unit 15's fuel filters have been changed
• Worked on the plumbing to restore plant air to the scaffolding onto unit 10
• Tailboard about the job involved with any preliminary work to be done by plant mechanics on unit 8 before the SSID guys arrive
