Smoke on the water….
…or at least on the floor of the power plant. Yesterday right before my shift in the power plant, a cooling hose on one of the generators developed a leak, allowing about 30 gallons of hot, pressurized coolant to escape. Station-wide announcements went out for all SCBA (fire fighting gear) teams to respond. The leak was stopped with much haste, the generator load transfered to another generator and the space ventilated. Some kind souls stayed behind to help clean up – and I made a repair to the afflicted engine. From crisis to normal in less than 3 hours – it was an impressive effort on everyone’s part.
