We all know that In March 2014, an over-pressurisation within the Unit 3 boiler rendered the unit inoperable. The
over-pressurisation resulted in substantial damage to the boiler itself including the surrounding associated

to be demolished and replaced accordingly by the Main Boiler Contractor.

designated as a storage region for all demolished metals from the boiler.
