Salem 2 Generating Station, 2007

The long awaited arrival of the new steam generators for PSEG's Salem Unit 2 is here. The Replacement Steam Generators, or RSGs as they're known, are being delivered to PSEG the week of April 30, 2007. They will be stored on site until the upcoming Salem 2 outage next Spring. During that interim they will be made ready for placement inside the containment building.

LU 322 Brothers Bill Ulbin and Bob Derderian are both working on the project and were present when two of the RSGs, each weighing about 380 tons, were being made fast to the barge that will bring them to Artificial Island in Hancocks Bridge, NJ in early May.

Pictured above is one of the huge shipboard cranes used to lift the RSGs out of the ship's hold and onto the waiting barge.

The new Steam Generators were manufactured by AREVA NP in France and transported by Big Lift Shipping to the United States. The Fagioli Group is providing the SPMTs and handling transport of the RSGs from the ship to PSEG by barge and overland using a SPMT to move them to where they will be stored onsite until the Steam Generator outage begins next Spring.

There were of course many other people who were involved in getting the new steam generators this far along in the project. This photo is of those who were present when the last RSG rolled off the barge at the Hope Creek slip on the evening of May 3, 2007.
