Celebrate with a fountain: Blip nr 700

Today I reached 700 Blips.
And to celebrate: a Blip of a fountain of water and steam at unit EC 3.

Well, a kind of pneumatic controlled relief valve in the feedwatersystem has begun to leak at once, one day ago.
And the leak increased that fast that we cannot see what the cause is; a blown out gasket or a hole in the valve body (although we don't think that is the case).
But the collegues that ran into it have managed to put tarpaulins at some points to lead the water and steam a bit away from critical (electric) valves and so on.
There's about 60 bar (870 PSI) in the system, so we have to be a bit careful.

I don't think the safety department knows how they did it...

Here's a look from a different angle.

The scaffolding was there already because of a modification of the system last weekend but has nothing to do with the leak (we think).

Here in LARGE...
