Work crews lifted a turbine out of hydropower unit two at Center Hill Dam in Lancaster, Tenn., Oct. 7, 2015 for a complete rehabilitation.  It is one of the final pieces of the disassembly process and the first time the 82-ton steel wheel has seen the light of day since its installation in 1950, a rare sight that makes it possible to inspect, rebuild embedded parts, and then reassemble the unit with new components.
