Creating light even in the dark! - Thermal Power Plant 24 hours a day Dangjin Thermal Power Plant, which supplies electricity to the metropolitan area! It operates 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, in three shifts, without rest, to produce 96,000MW of electricity. There are 2,000 employees there who create electricity with sweat and passion in all kinds of adverse conditions. Power generation workers who run up hundreds of stairs in one go to check the boiler in the midst of loud noise comparable to construction site noise and heat approaching 40 degrees, and unloading workers who unload coal while fighting against the bitter sea wind and risking collisions with huge heavy equipment! Through 24 hours at a thermal power plant, we will guide you to the site of an extreme job where they fight to produce electricity in all kinds of adverse conditions. ■ 8-9 AM, Unloading Pier - An unexpected anchoring accident and a crisis for the unloading driver! A large ship carrying 60,000 tons of coal from China has arrived at the dock. The unloading work can begin only if the ship is anchored quickly, but an unexpected situation occurs. The line thrown for docking gets tangled under the ship. In that situation, a minor collision with a tugboat even occurs... After the difficult docking, the coal unloading work begins! However, this time, too much steam is being generated from the coal, which keeps obstructing the unloading driver's view. A crisis for the unloading driver who endures the threat of collision and falling while being exposed to the sea breeze with his whole body in sub-zero temperatures! How will his dangerous morning go? ■ 9 AM, Inside the Conveyor Belt Great people named Father A conveyor belt facility that automatically moves the unloaded coal to the boiler building. However, human hands are needed to sweep up the fallen coal. In this place where there is not much light and the coal dust flies, reminiscent of a coal mine, there are fathers who willingly chose to work for their children’s tuition. We meet great beings called fathers who silently sweep up coal dust and endure extreme working conditions, even though it does not require any special skills. ■ 3 PM, 26-year veteran of the unloading dock, unloading supervisor Yoon Joo-ho The threat of falling into the sea 20 meters below, the threat of collision with the huge heavy equipment unloading machine, and even a battle with the bitter sea wind! In the unloading dock with all kinds of difficult working conditions, there is a person who has been through 26 years. That is the unloading general supervisor, Manager Yoon Joo-ho! We take a look at his daily life and pride in his work, as he moves busily to prevent safety accidents from the top of the 50-meter-high unloading machine to the 20-meter-low ship holder. ■ 6 PM, a unloading driver we met on the way home It is not an extreme working environment, but a fun playground. Min Kyung-gi, a unloading driver with 12 years of experience. On his way back home after safely completing his unloading work in an extreme working environment, he asks the night shift workers to be safe until the end. Although the unloading work is done in sub-zero temperatures and in the fear of falling, these harsh conditions are no problem to him at all. This is because he is having more and more fun handling the large heavy equipment called unloaders as each day passes. He says he has never once thought it was hard, and the reason he was able to turn the extreme working environment into a fun playground is because he has pride in generating electricity through unloading operations, which not everyone can do. ✔ Program name: Extreme Job - Thermal Power Plant Part 2 ✔ Broadcast date: 2008.03.20
