On Friday, August 31, while removing a cooler (which is a cooling assembly associated with the main power generator) the rigging supporting a cooler became disconnected from the lifting beam which caused the cooler to fall to the floor. The cooler weighed approximately 700 kg and fell approximately ten feet.
No workers were in the immediate lifting area and no one was injured.
