Problems..
During startup last night no water came into the HP drum of unit 6
The blockvalve seemed to be open but only the valve stem moved; the valve itself remained in its seat; the stem was broken.
So the complete system had to be drained and depressurized.
That took several hours because the system was hot and had to be evaporated completely.
Now the maintenance department has welded the stem back to the valve (there is no spare valve!) and is now putting it all together so we can fill the system. That will take some hours, after that the unit can be started up again. I guess that will happen when I'm in my bed.....

Here is the valve casing of the blockvalve, the regulatorvalve can be seen in the back
