Building of Dam of Paektusan Power Station No. 2 Completed
Pyongyang, August 16 (KCNA) -- The builders of the Paektusan Songun Youth Power Station completed the building of a dam and a surge tank of Power Station No. 2 in a matter of a little over one year since the inauguration of Power Station No. 1.

This opened a clear prospect for bringing the day of the completion of the power station.

The organization and command over the operation have been scrupulously made.

The builders carried out their daily quotas at 140 percent on an average, at more than 200 per cent at maximum by increasing the operation rate of vehicles and boldly applying rational methods of construction.

They finished the building of an overflow dam in a matter of 40 odd days despite unfavorable conditions during the rainy season.

The builders in charge of the construction of the surge tank gave precedence to the expansion of the waterway tunnel and pushed ahead with the work to cover it with concrete.

They hastened the construction of the surge tank while saving a lot of manpower and materials by applying dozens of technological innovation and invention proposals.

With the construction of the dam and surge tank completed, the power station looks more magnificent.

The members of the Paektusan Songun youth shock brigade are waging a vigorous drive to greet the 65th anniversary of the DPRK with greater labor success in the same spirit as displayed in the building of the dam and the surge tank.
