Abstract

The replacement of failed impeller chambers in a hydroelectric plant is described in this article. The emphasis of the article is on the use of a blast-generating unit (BGU) for crushing reinforced concrete. The BGU feeds kerosene and nitrogen tetroxide from separate tanks to form a jet of liquid explosive mixture. The BGU performed safely and efficiently, and has been recommended for use at other hydroelectric plants. 1 ref., 1 fig., 1 tab.
