Darlington Unit 3 Set For Disassembly
The Darlington Refurbishment Project has completed a significant milestone with the successful separation of the Unit 3 reactor and its systems from the three remaining operating units at Darlington Nuclear Generating Station.
On Jan. 6, workers installed the last bulkhead section to complete a physical protective barrier 10 days ahead of the originally planned 44-day schedule. But more significantly, it was done safely.
The installation of the bulkhead, which involved welding together 16 steel panels each weighing more than 5,000 kilograms, is part of ”islanding” – or physically isolating – Unit 3 to create a safe and defined work area for refurbishment and protect workers and the plant.
