乔治亚州新核反应堆 4 号机组的冷却系统振动导致商业运营从 3 月推迟到 2024 年第二季度,原因是 3 号机组出现类似问题并且需要进行额外测试。 New Georgia nuclear reactor Unit 4's cooling system vibrations cause commercial operations delay from March to Q2 2024 due to similar issues in Unit 3 and additional testing needed.
乔治亚电力公司 (Georgia Power Co.) 宣布,其第二座新核反应堆沃格特尔工厂 4 号机组冷却系统出现振动,其商业运营将推迟至 2024 年第二季度。 Georgia Power Co. announced that vibrations in the cooling system of its second new nuclear reactor, Plant Vogtle's Unit 4, will delay its commercial operation until the second quarter of 2024. 这是沃格特尔工厂扩建项目的最新挫折,该项目超出预算数十亿美元,而且一直受到延误的困扰。 This is the latest setback for the Plant Vogtle expansion, a project billions over budget and plagued by delays. 一旦投入运行,这两个反应堆将产生足够的无碳电力,为 100 万户家庭供电。 Once operational, the two reactors combined will produce enough carbon-free electricity to power 1 million homes.
