TVA does LOTS of maintenance on the hydro plants. As to the bolts, I've seen 3" diameter bolts/studs on turbine shaft inspection doors. Takes 2 men to lift the wrench up to and on the bolt/nut.

Too much to type but I could tell you some stories about logs making it thru the Trash Gates and down to the impellor


I firmly believe that a double gallows should be constructed on the East Lawn of The White House. Politicians who willfully and shamelessly violate their oath to uphold and defend the Constitution of the United States of America should be swiftly tried and, upon conviction, publicly hanged at sunup the day after conviction. If multiple convicts are to be hanged they can choose with whom to share the gallows or names shall be drawn from the hangman's hat to be hanged 2 at a time.
