PG&E to dredge Diablo Canyon intake system
The owners of the Diablo Canyon nuclear power plant plan to dredge a massive buildup of shoaled sediment from its seawater intake cove.
Pacific Gas and Electric spokesperson Suzanne Hosn said, “The dredging project in the Diablo Canyon marina will remove approximately 70,000 cubic yards of sediment to prevent circumstances that could impact the power plant’s cooling system. Dredging will take place for the first time since operations began because of a rapid increase in sediment.”

Simulation experiments of traveling wave direct energy converter (TWDEC) on GAMMA 10 tandem mirror have been performed. Following to initial experiments reported previously, full biasing system including measurement system has been constructed. The biasing system has successfully worked showing that energy distribution is shifted corresponding to the bias voltage. Examination of approximated energy distribution functions reveals that the deceleration effect by TWDEC operation is found for an appropriate relative phase difference between modulator and decelerator RFs.
