Kevingweq Posted January 5, 2014 Share Posted January 5, 2014 Tennessee, Looks like IH D500 rubber tired dozers doing the pulling. Kevin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevingweq Posted January 5, 2014 Share Posted January 5, 2014 Always thought the D500 was the biggest wheel dozer IH made ,I was wrong as usual LOL apparently they made 15 D950 "bigfoot" dozers , any info out there??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M Diesel Posted January 5, 2014 Share Posted January 5, 2014 Kinda looks nearly the same? That blade looks so dinky. I'd vote for D500 as well. I have seen a D400 loader and it was huge. You could see it parked behind a 40 foot semi box trailer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brian falcone Posted January 5, 2014 Share Posted January 5, 2014 The trucks look to be payhaulers...a 4wd 180 and an older model 65... the pulling tractors have me stumped...not international as they don't articulate...the headlights make me want to say old michigan 375 rear wheel steer machines heavily modified.. as far as the bigfoot d500 goes ...from what I was told a while back a large contractor out west modified a fleet of d500 paydozers with angle blades..bigger tires and rippers to build that monster in the photographs.

Kevingweq Posted January 6, 2014 Share Posted January 6, 2014 I think you got it Brian , at 4:46 the operator is sitting on the dash facing the rear of the machine while driving And as they are pushing it on the barge you can just make out michigan between the headlights Kevin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

George 2 Posted January 6, 2014 Share Posted January 6, 2014 Phipps Bend was never completed. The RPV was for a GE BWR and the RPVs for a BWR are much larger than those for the PWR. The RPV for the newest ESBWR from GE is over 90 feet long and 26 feet wide. However they haven't sold any yet to anyone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Former_Farmer Posted January 11, 2014 Share Posted January 11, 2014 Kevin: RPV - Reactor Pressure Vessel BWR - Boiling Water Reactor ESBWR - Economic Simplified Boiling water Reactor From what I understand of these things the Fukishima reactors were early BWRs and required power to keep their coolant circulating even when the reactors are scrammed. They began to melt down when the tsunami wiped out their diesel powered emergency generators. The latest designs (ESBWR) function passively so they won't melt down even without power. Or, so they claim. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
