Testing will occur in June of 2005 at flow levels of 5, 9.5, 14 and 18.8 CMS to ensure that the features are safe and functional at the various flow levels. We have identified 3 or 4 features which appear to have some issues at the lower flow levels which were tested at in November of 2004 (only flows of up to 8.8 CMS available due to the delay in installing the second generator in the plant). These features will be tested, along with the rest of the course, to see if the issues occur at all flows, or only some of the flows. Only then will we know what needs to be changed to work at all the different flows. Note: To date the only testing that has been run is without any of the movable obstacles in place - that is with only the bare course channel. We fully expect to see increased water depth and feature changes when the movable obstacles are set into the anchor pads. |
