Portable dam being added to arsenal in place to fight floods
The purchase of a portable eight-foot high dam for Exelon’s Dresden Gen-erating Station is one of a series of equipment and facility upgrades under way that are designed to protect the facility from extreme floods.
Three portable high-volume diesel water pumps, portable backup generators and other support equipment are on site. A 4,000-foot-long portable dam and other equipment are being delivered over the next few weeks to augment the nuclear facility’s flood protection strategy.
