Sayano--Shushenskaya Dam: Help us to prevent great disaster in Siberia

[lakewood85]

I just read a very interesting article in Power Magazine about the causes of the turbine disaster and everything points to a severe lack of maintenance, ignoring stress cracks in the machinery base and cycling the turbine to follow peak power needs thus opperating it in a high vibration mode that caused its failure. I hope the spillway can handle the spring floods and the water doesn't overtop the dam. Hopefully the dam can handle the dynamic flood stress.
