"The location, length, and depth of the generator shaft crack meant a catastrophic failure was imminent." SmartSignal detected this problem for Entergy and provided early warning, preventing catastrophic failure. "Repairs were estimated at approximately $5 million. Costs for picking up the pieces and putting out lube oil and hydrogen fires—which would have resulted if the shaft actually had failed—were estimated at between $20 and $40 million, not including personnel injuries."
