1 KHAKASIA, August 29 (RIA
Novosti) - Work to repair the Sayano-Shushenskaya hydroelectric station in
south Siberia, following a tragic accident on August 17 that left 71
people dead, is to be carried out in three shifts, the acting CEO of
RusHydro said on Saturday.
2 "At the
current time, work is being carried out
in two shifts, but it is highly likely that we will move to a three-shift
working system," Vasily Zubakin said, adding that the reasoning behind the
move was an influx of workers and the fact that the current 12-hour shifts
were "extremely hard."
3 The disaster
occurred during repair work to one of the
plant's 10 hydroelectric generators. A surge of water shattered three of
the turbines and flooded much of the plant.
4 Zubakin said that
RusHydro planned to sign an additional agreement with the main contractor
on September 1 to try and speed up the construction of a water sluice to
take the strain off the main station at the plant.
5 He said that the most
difficult work involved restoring the supports and concrete casing, which
were severely damaged in the accident.
6 Locals believe
the accident was caused by plant management seeking to produce as much
electricity as possible without paying enough attention to the condition
of the equipment, a charge dismissed by power plant representatives.
7 The prime minister
of the republic of Khakasia, Viktor Zimin, said he was personally
supervising the investigation and "no one is hiding anything."
8 RusHydro has said
the damage could take up to two years to repair, and Energy Minister
Sergei Shmatko estimated the cost could run to at least 40 billion rubles
($1.2 billion).
