The shrapnel caused unreparable damage to 3 additional blades. From the pictures, it appears that one of the damaged blades was close to breaking off, and likely would have caused much more significant damage to the compressor AND turbine. We've begun the process of removing the damaged blades. Westinghouse has the repair lead, and so far, is giving it the right level of attention. My plant manager's driving the effort on the ground, but I have a compressor engineer that will be at the site tomorrow to serve as my eyes and ears so Pete can concentrate on keeping the other two units running. Barring as-yet undiscovered damage (doubtful), my best guess is that we lose next week, but get the unit back for the week of 24 July. This hinges on Westinghouse securing four replacement blades which they are scrambling to do. All costs should fall on Westinghouse warranty. I'm collecting the information we might need in order to file a business process interruption insurance claim, but based on my best-guess schedule, I don't expect to file the claim. Mitch
