Boat Scrapyard is the one stop marine chandlery shop where we list all of the boat parts we recycle from end of life boats. We also have brand new items which are surplus chandlery stock. The aim is to have the biggest selection of new and used boat parts for sale around.

Our sister company  Boatbreakers, source end of life boats through their marine recycling network. Many of the boat parts we sell will be extremely hard to get hold of due to the boats they come from no longer being in production.

The Boat Scrapyard team will always try and price each item for a fair price. Unless an item is brand new it will very rarely be anywhere near the full retail price. So there should be plenty of boaty bargains!

We want to hear from you. As we expand our Marine Recycling network we want you to  tell us the parts you are looking for . Another service we want to offer is pre-ordering parts from boats that we will be having delivered soon.

Where to buy used boat parts?

There are four best places to find used boat parts and marine supplies:

• Boat salvage yards (boat junk yards)

Marine consignment stores

• Online stores
• Salvage auctions

Be sure to check out the maps below to find used boat parts near you.

Boat salvage yards and boat junk yards

If you enjoy bargain hunting, you’ll love picking over parts at a boat salvage yard. A marine salvage yard is a place where wrecked and salvage boats go to be taken apart and recycled. Often these companies also specialize in boat removal and offer boat disposal services.

How it works

Boat junk yards buy boats that are damaged beyond repair (or no longer wanted) from boat owners and insurance companies for rock-bottom prices. Sometimes these boat scrap yards will specialize in a certain type of boat (e.g. yachts or power).

The boat junkyard then dismantles and sells the boat salvage parts to customers.

At “pick and pull” yards” you’re set loose in the yard with a screwdriver, free to climb all over the boats and pull off the pieces that strike your fancy. The deals can be outstanding.

For example, I once spent a pleasant afternoon stripping 30 lbs of Harken blocks and cleats off a grounded race boat and paid only 25 dollars for my bag of booty. That hardware could have easily cost me 10-20x at a chandlery.

Very often the boat junk yard staff can help you find the right part. If you’re looking for a specific part, call ahead to inquire about availability.

What you’ll find

If it’s attached to a boat, you’ll likely find it at a salvage yard! Engines, water pumps, winches, blocks, doors, hatches, booms, masts, etc.

Sometimes you’ll find items like used sails , lines, and electronics but many owners will strip out items that can be resold before delivering the boat to the salvage yard.

• Boat salvage yards are the place to go for the best price. Their cheap parts can make your boat repairs and projects a lot more affordable. Plus, there’s no shipping cost.
• You can physically inspect the part before buying it
• Boat junk yard staff will know the history of the boat and how this will affect the quality of the parts. For example, boat parts from freshwater boats tend to be in better shape than parts from saltwater boats. How the boat was damaged may also affect your decision to buy a part. For example, you might not want to buy rigging hardware from a boat that lost its mast. However, buying a boom from a boat with fire damage might be fine.
• You get to be on the boat recycling front lines and pull everything apart yourself! It’s great weekend entertainment.
• You often have to remove the boat parts you want from the boat (bring tools)
• Parts are still attached to the boat and therefore not organized like they are in a chandlery. This makes it difficult to find and compare parts
• Unlike new parts, used marine parts may be less durable, faulty, and there is no warranty
• Boat salvage yards often have very few staff so don’t expect to get advice on your boat project

To find boat junkyards near you, check out this map of boat junk yards in the United States .

Boat shopping tip! If you’re looking for a good deal on a whole boat (not just parts), be sure to check out how to find cheap boats on Craigslist.

Good things come to those who rummage! If you’re lucky enough to have a marine consignment store in your area (see map below) you can save money on boat parts.

Minney’s Yacht Surplus is a MUST-visit for any sailor traveling through Southern California

Marine consignment stores buy or consign boat parts from boat owners and liquidation facilities and then resell them with a small markup. Sometimes stores will let you trade in your old boat parts.

For example, we once walked into a boat consignment store with three old sails we didn’t want and came out with a captain’s chair, a spinnaker pole , and $100 in cash. It’s a great way to turn your boat clutter into useful gear.

Anything you’d expect to find in a chandlery including great deals on electronics, sails, rigging, and hardware.

• Marine consignment stores have affordable prices and no shipping cost.
• Staff only accept consignment items of a certain quality so you won’t have to wade through junk for hours
• Items are organized throughout the store making them easier to browse
• You have the opportunity to trade in your old boat parts
• You can physically inspect the parts before purchase
• Knowledgeable staff offer fast service and can advise you on boat parts and your projects
• Though inexpensive, parts cost more than they would at a salvage yard
• Occasionally consigned items have prices that are set too high by the owner of the item
• There are no warranties or returns

Find marine consignment stores near you

Search for boat consignment stores near you. This map includes stores from Good Old Boat’s awesome list of boating consignment stores

Online stores for used boat parts

While most of the marine consignment stores above, also sell items online, there are a few organizations that specialize in online only.

Search online to find a wide selection of parts and have them shipped right to your door.

Be sure to read the fine print and understand who the seller is. Sometimes it’s a company selling parts, in which case the parts have usually been inspected and tested. In other cases, the parts are being sold by an individual, in which case there are really no quality standards.

You can buy anything online that you’d find at a chandlery but keep in mind it will be a lot more expensive to ship heavy parts like anchors, chain, or propellers.

• Buying online is cheaper than buying at a chandlery
• Accessible and convenient
• Easy to browse and compare parts in well-organized categories
• Sometimes parts are inspected and tested before the sale
• It’s possible to find highly specialized and discontinued boat parts
• More expensive than marine consignment stores and boat salvage yards and there’ll be shipping costs.
• There’s no way to personally inspect parts before the purchase
• No in-person staff to provide advice, though often staff are available by email or phone

Buy second-hand boat parts online from these websites:

In the last couple of years, many of the online boat part vendors have shut down their websites.

Shipwreck Salvage seems to be one of the few sites left standing. The company is run by a semi-retired mechanic and sells freshwater parts worldwide.

If you know of anyone who is selling boat parts online and has a large inventory, let us know in the comments and we’ll add them to our list.

Of course, you can always find boat parts in your local area (and beyond) by searching buy and sell sites like eBay, Kijiji, and Craigslist.

Salvage boats for sale at auction

There is one last place you can buy cheap boat parts – at auction! If you’re planning a big project (like outfitting a boat to sail around the world or restoring a classic boat) you may want to find a salvage boat for sale, buy it, and part it out yourself.

Look for police and other auctions in your area or search an online auction site like AutoBidMaster, YachtSalvage.com, Copart , and SCA.

Find out when an auction is taking place in your area or use one of the online auction sites listed above. Place your bid and watch carefully as the bidding closes.

From storm-damaged sailboats to outboard motors to police-seized sport boats, you can find anything at auction, often at a more than reasonable price.

• Buying a whole boat and parting it out will be very cost-effective because you’re buying in bulk
• In the case of a live auction, you may be able to physically view the boat
• You can sell any parts of the boat that you don’t need and recoup some of the purchase price
• Buying at auction can be exciting!
• It’s hard to know the quality of individual parts as you won’t be able to inspect them in detail
• You’ll need somewhere to store the boat while you’re parting it out
• Parting out a boat is time-consuming
• Once you’ve finished parting out the boat there will be disposal costs

Tips for buying used boat parts

• Be precise . Before purchasing, make sure it’s the right part and compatible with your specific boat’s make and model. Before calling a parts department, see if you can find a serial number for the part you’re replacing. Also, take careful measurements of all the key dimensions and check them against the listing.
• Inspect thoroughly . When buying used boat parts, it’s essential to inspect them thoroughly. Request detailed photos from different angles and ask the seller about the condition, history, and any known issues with the part. If possible, arrange to see the part in person before finalizing the purchase.
• Buy from reputable sources . Your best bet is to purchase used boat parts from reputable sources such as established marine salvage yards or dealers. Professional sellers are more likely to accurately describe the condition of the part as well as provide great service and fast shipping.
• Check for warranty or return policy. Ask about any warranties or return policies offered by the seller. A limited warranty or return option can provide you with some peace of mind in case the part turns out to be faulty or incompatible with your boat.
• Ask about service history . Inquire about the service history, especially if it’s a complex part or system like an outboard motor or stern drive unit. Knowing how the part was maintained, and if it received proper care, can give you insight into its overall condition and potential longevity.

Remember, while buying used parts can save you money, it’s important to balance cost savings with the quality and condition of the parts. Take your time to make an informed decision.

Used boat parts are the most economical alternative to buying fresh parts for your boat. There are numerous organizations which are involved in the process of stocking quality, well maintained second-hand boat parts. It is a more cost effective method to buy used boat parts as they offer cost savings over new parts. Also, there are a number of models of outboard and sterndrive motor parts which are no longer manufactured. This has, in turn, led to making it difficult for the owners of these motors to find authentic and genuine parts. The only possible way this can be done is to use second hand boat parts. However, the question which inevitably arises is the condition of the used parts. The best bet in the field of buying bona fide used boat parts is U.S. Boatworks. With over thirty years of industrial experience to its name, USBoatworks offers some of the best quality obsolete boat parts that you can find in the market. Their parts come from motors that have only seen fresh water lakes and rivers so you don’t have to worry about receiving salt water damaged parts. U.S. Boatworks caters to models of boats from the 1950s to the present year. This translates into the fact that there is an extensive catalog of NLA boat parts from which you can choose. Buy your used NLA parts from USBoatworks, your #1 source for Boat Parts. Looking for an obsolete part number for your vintage motor? Check out our boat parts finder for parts lookup by engine diagram. Simply find your manufacturer and model number and then select the major engine component. Once the engine component is selected, you will get an exploded view engine diagram with part numbers. If those parts are in stock, you can add them to your cart. Odds are if you have an older model boat motor that the part will say “call us”. This means that we could have it in stock as a used or NOS boat part. Feel free to call or email us about the part you need and we will happily get right back to you.

A Guide to Buying Used Boat Parts: Here’s What You Need to Know

One of the drawbacks to owning a boat is the maintenance involved with keeping it afloat and moving. It’s fine if you have the budget for a new boat that comes with a service plan, and the dealer takes care of the maintenance for you.

However, it’s a different story for used boat owners, especially those with aging models. If you have an older boat, then the company might be out of business, as is the case with Luhr. As a result, there are no spares for these boats available from a manufacturing source.

The only option left is scouring the salvage yards looking for the parts you need. Fortunately, there are salvage yards across the country, and most of them have plenty of inventory; it just takes some digging to find what you need.

There are a few other resources owners can use when sourcing parts when their boat goes out of service plan.

• Marine consignment stores
• Online stores
• Salvage auctions

Let’s unpack each of these resources to help you know where to look when buying used boat parts.

Boat Salvage Yards

If you’re looking for the best source for used parts, we recommend checking out a local salvage yard. You’ll find your spares and usually pay next to nothing for them. The drawback is the time, expertise, and tooling required to use this resource properly.

How the Salvage Yard Works

The salvage yard is where boats go to die. When an owner decides to scrap a vessel, it’s involved in an accident or abandoned; it eventually ends up at the salvage yard. Some salvage yards are huge, with hundreds or even thousands of boats in different states of disrepair.

Usually, you can call ahead to the yard and ask them if they have the specific parts you need on hand from a recent strip down. If they can’t give you that information, the yard should at least be able to tell you if they have the model of boat you’re looking for on their inventory list.

“Pick-and-Pull” salvage yards let you loose on the boats in the yard. Take your toolbox and dig through the vessels to find any spares you need. It’s a fun adventure if you have handy skills and some time on your hands.

What Can You Expect to Find at a Salvage Yard

The salvage yard is our go-to resource for finding boat parts. In your case, the yard will have more than one in varying states of condition. Engines, winches, water pumps, doors, blocks, hatches, masts, booms, and anything you need for your boat.

If you own a sailboat, you might find it hard to source the rigging and sails. However, many yards strip these components out when they bring the boat into the yard. Speak to the yard manager to see if they have any parts you can’t find on hand from a recent strip-down.

What are the Pros and Cons of Using a Salvage Yard for Spare Boat Parts?

• You’ll probably find the part you’re looking for at the yard, especially if you have a popular boat model.
• The salvage yard offers you the most affordable option for purchasing spare parts for your boat.
• You can inspect the part properly before buying it.
• Some yards have manifestos of their inventory, and you can call in to find out if they have the part you need.
• You can find parts no longer produced by the manufacturer.
• Most yards are “pick-and-pull,” requiring you to find and remove the parts you need from the boat yourself.
• You need some technical knowledge and handy skills, especially if you’re stripping a motor.
• There is no warranty on the parts.
• The yard won’t give you any advice on the right parts.

Tips for Sourcing Used Parts from Boat Salvage Yards

If you’re heading to the salvage yard to see if you can source a spare part or two, follow these tips for the best scavenger experience.

Look for Salvage Yards Close to You

Stay close to home, especially if you’re sourcing larger spares.

Look Up the Salvage Yard Online and Read Reviews

Check what people say about the yard on social media before driving out there and wasting your time.

Call the Yard and Speak with the Manager

Call the yard and speak with someone about finding the parts you need. Many yards strip popular models for spares. If the owner can’t tell you if they have the spare on hand, they should be able to tell you if they have the boat you’re looking for in the yard.

Marine Consignment Stores

The next place to check when buying used boat parts is the marine consignment store. These stores aren’t as widespread as salvage yards, but there are usually a few of them around major cities.

How it works

These retailers purchase their inventory from old boat owners, salvage yard auctions, and liquidation companies. They then sell the parts to the private market at a small markup. Some consignment stores may even offer you a limited warranty on the spare.

What you’ll find

This chandlery will have great deals on plenty of parts across many manufacturing brands and models. Call ahead and speak to someone to find out if they have the part you need for your boat.

What are the Pros and Cons of buying Used Boat Parts at Marine Consignment Stores?

• Excellent prices compared to other used spare dealers.
• Most stores quality-check items and offer limited warranties on some parts.
• Items are organized and easy to find.
• You can trade in old boat parts.
• You can inspect your parts before buying.
• The staff can advise you on the right parts.
• Parts cost more than they do at the salvage yard.
• Most items don’t come with warranties.

Online Boat Spares Websites

There are several ways to source boat parts online. Craigslist offers you a huge classified site with plenty of ads for boat spares. You’ll probably see many of the salvage yards advertising in the classifieds on the site.

You get a user-friendly browsing experience and easy identification of the parts you need. The seller will usually ship to your door, so there’s no need to drive around town to the salvage yard or the consignment store.

You’ll find a huge selection of parts online, from anchors to propellers. However, it might be expensive to ship heavier spares.

What are the Pros and Cons of Buying Used Boat Parts from Online Stores?

• An affordable strategy for sourcing parts.
• Plenty of selection for models and brands.
• Shipping included to your door.
• You can find specialized and discontinued spares.
• There will be shipping costs, and heavy items can be expensive.
• No way to view or inspect the parts physically before purchase.
• Limited advice.

Boat Salvage Auctions

Sometimes, salvage yards and other boat removal companies may host salvage auctions where you can bid on parts through live or virtual events.

Look online for vendors and the dates they hold their auctions. You turn up at the venue or log into the site online and bid on the parts. Usually, the listing for the auction will give you the boats they are salvaging for spares.

Some sites will salvage boats and sell them at auction, while others may require you to purchase the whole boat, usually at a very affordable price.

You can find anything you need, from seized to damaged or repossessed boats.

What are the Pros and Cons of buying Used Boat Parts at Boat Salvage Auctions?

• Buying an entire boat could be cost-effective for sourcing the parts you need in the future.
• Live auctions let you view the boat physically.
• Auctions are exciting!
• You have to buy a whole boat, and that leads to storage problems and costs.
• You might not need the entire boat.
• Parting out a boat takes time.
• There are disposal costs involved after you finish parting out the boat.
• You need tools and knowledge to complete the task of parting out the boat.

Wrapping Up

Unless you have a new model boat you bought in the last ten years, chances are you’re going to have to end up using one of these methods to source the spares you need for your boat. Give them a try and see what works for your boat and your budget.

History of Pine Lake Parts

Pat and Shelly Cooper bought Pine Lake Boat & Motor with Pat's brother in 2009. The previous owner left behind thousands of "New Old Stock" items, just sitting in shelves waiting for someone who might walk in and want them! Pat and Shelly did what they did best: they modernized, recycled, and SOLD them! 

In 2015, a fire burned down all their stock. This didn't keep the Coopers down--the whole store was shut down that night, but was back to two thousand listings a month later, and has continued to grow to 17,000! 

The tragic fire created an opportunity for the Cooper brothers, and they split the marina into two. Pat and Shelly created Pine Lake Parts in 2016. We bought out several defunct marina's inventories, and partnered up with still-running ones, such as Gull Lake Marine, to sell their stock as well.

Pat and Shelly were featured as Encore Magazine's cover story in July 2018 .  Read more about their story there. 

Between our Ebay and Shopify stores, we have tens of thousands of new and used items, from brands such as:  Champion, Chrysler Marine, Elgin, Evinrude / Johnson / OMC, Force, Honda, Mariner / Mercury, MerCruiser, Nissan, Polaris, Scott-Atwater, Sierra, Suzuki, Volvo Penta, and Yamaha.

3 dead as Ohio tornadoes prompt mass casualty response in Logan County

Gov. mike dewine: 'the indian lake community will come back'.

At least three people are dead as a result of a series of severe storms that ravaged Ohio on Thursday night, spawning a series of 20 tornado warnings across the state and knocking out power to thousands.For the second time in as many weeks , storms and likely tornadoes tore through Ohio.

Authorities in Logan County are dealing with a mass casualty incident where at least three people died in tornado that struck a trailer park near Indian Lake , located about 70 miles northwest of Columbus. The National Weather Service confirmed as of 2 p.m. Friday that at least four tornadoes touched down across Ohio.

Logan County Sheriff Randy Dodds said the number of deaths could increase as rescue efforts continue.

"It's one hell of a mess up there," Dodds said. "It looks like a war zone." 

Ohio Gov. Mike DeWine: 'There's an awful lot of damage'

Dodds said there were areas where first responders could not search overnight because of debris and downed power lines that made it unsafe. He said there is anticipation that there may be more people found dead during searches that will continue Friday morning.

Dodds said there are areas where a single home may have remained untouched while everything around it has been leveled.

"The power of this thing is just amazing. It hopped around but when you look at it, it's just amazing." 

Officials including Gov. DeWine, Lt. Gov. Jon Husted, Senate President Matt Huffman and others held a news conference at around 3:30 Friday to give an update on the recovery.

DeWine drove through the Indian Lake area before the press conference to talk with home owners and those impacted by the storms.

"There's an awful lot of damage," he said.

DeWine said the Indian Lake community will rebound from the tragedy.

"The Indian Lake community will come back. That's the message I got from everybody," DeWine said at Indian Lake High School.

State Rep. Jon Cross, R-Findlay, who represents part of the area, said lawmakers have to work with the governor to get the community back open.

"This is a community that relies on tourism," Cross said. "We have devastated businesses that lost everything. We need to get these businesses back open.

Ohio's emergency operations center activated Thursday night during the severe weather and continues to coordinate damage assessment and clean-up efforts with local, state and federal agencies.

“Fran and I are deeply saddened by those impacted by the tornadoes and severe storms,” DeWine said in a statement issued shortly before noon. “We share the grief of the families who lost loved ones, homes, and livelihoods.  Ohioans will come together as they always do with resilience and compassion as we support and rebuild our communities.”

Indian Lake residents assess Ohio tornado damage

Indian Lake resident Blaine Schmitt was working outside his home last night when his wife called him.

She warned him about the tornado and told him to get into the bathtub. He gathered his dog and friend, Greg McDougle, and hunkered down in the bathroom.

Over the next few minutes, the tornado swept through Schmitt's home, shredding the front wall and scattering debris in his yard.

"It sounded like a freight train literally went through the living room," Schmitt said.

Luckily, Schmitt and McDougle managed to get through the storm unscathed.

"I thank God that I'm alive and that my kids weren't here. It was very emotional when I first got here, and it's been emotional ever since then. But I pray every day and it paid off," Schmitt said.

McDougle used to live next door with his father. He sold the home two years ago, and it was being renovated when the storm hit. Now, all that remains is scattered debris, a single flattened wall, and the foundation.

"This is what's left. No one was living here, and thank God for that," McDougle said.

Logan County resident describes tornadoes: 'It's a noise you'll never forget'

As storms approached Logan County late Thursday, Loretta Kinney told her goddaughter Lucy there was nothing to be afraid of.

Kinney and her brother walked Lucy home and by the time they returned to their own house, Kinney said she realized just how wrong she was. The two headed down to the basement and waited out a storm and likely tornadoes that rolled across the Midwest and the Indian Lake region about 70 miles northwest of Columbus.

By the time they'd emerge, Kinney would come to find out that at least three people had died and homes and businesses around the county had been ripped apart.

"Just the noise. When they say you hear a train, it's a noise you'll never forget," Kinney said. "Then to come up and see it, it is so surreal. Even though I'm standing here and looking at everything it doesn't seem real."

Shelter opens for Indian Lake storm victims

The Logan County Emergency Management Agency said it's opened a shelter for victims of Thursday night's storm at the Church of God located at 1000 E Brown Ave.

The United Way of Logan County also established a relief fund where monetary donations can be made to assist residents who have been impacted by the storms.

Donations can be made online to the Indian Lake Tornado Relief Fund at  www.uwlogan.org  and 100% of donations will go to help community members recover in both the short and long-term from the storms.

Possible tornado strikes Lakeview, Indian Lake: 'People's homes are destroyed'

Columbus Dispatch Photographer Doral Chenoweth arrived in the area before midnight and reported finding extensive damage, including a destroyed trailer park with tractor trailers and RVs overturned and large trees uprooted. In Lakeview, the library and a government building were damaged.

"Every building in Lakeview and every building here has some form of damage," he said, from a spot near Lakeview. "People's homes are destroyed."

The Logan EMA confirmed for The Dispatch that a trailer park in the Indian Lake area just north of Lakeview was struck by a tornado or at least very high winds that have caused extensive damage. The community also reported having a shortage of ambulances.

An NWS spokesman said he couldn't confirm that a tornado struck the community but said there was "reports of a lot of damage there." The NWS will send investigators out Friday to confirm the tornadoes as it did last month when nine were confirmed across Ohio .

Thursday's Ohio storms were part of a larger system that pushed through the Midwest beginning in the afternoon and into the evening.

The Indiana State Police said there are “many significant injuries” after a tornado tore through the community of Winchester, AP reported.

“There have been many, many significant injuries, but I don’t know the number. I don’t know where they are. I don’t know what those injuries are,” Indiana State Police Superintendent Douglas Carter told reporters just before midnight Thursday. “There’s a lot that we don’t know yet.”

The National Weather Service in Wilmington and Cleveland issued 20 tornado warnings based on a review of social media posts. That does not include multiple thunderstorms and other alerts.

Indian Lake volunteers continue search for people impacted by storms

Emergency personnel conducted "grid searches" Friday morning in the impacted areas where the storm struck, the sheriff said.

Grid searches are methodical searches using a grid pattern to ensure that all areas can be checked without duplicating efforts and minimizing the risk of missing an area.

The sheriff said there are areas that first responders are able to access during the daylight that were not accessible Thursday night because of downed power lines and concerns about gas leaks. Those areas are now being searched. Crews are also researching areas that were searched Thursday night to ensure that no one who needed medical assistance was missed.

While there has been a "plethora" of volunteers who have arrived on the scene, Dodds said volunteers are more likely to be necessary as the searches conclude and the clean-up effort begins. 

The Central Ohio Strike Team mobilized Friday morning to go to the Indian Lake area to help with the ongoing emergency response. The strike team, one of five regional teams across the state that are specially trained to respond when there are large-scale disasters, includes firefighters from every agency in Franklin County.

The members of the strike team receive special training on how to do search and rescue operations in the event of structure collapses, as well as how to do rescue operations in confined spaces and machinery extractions. 

AEP transmission towers toppled in Delaware County

AEP Ohio confirmed that the storms toppled six transmission towers near Olentangy Berlin High School. As of 9:15 a.m. Friday, the number of customers without power had risen to more than 13,000. 

Photos posted by the utility company on social media show the tower on its side. The tower fell into other power lines in the area. 

AEP issued a statement Friday afternoon saying more than 30 power lines came down in the storm, as well as six transmission towers in Delaware County.

The utility company said the goal is to have power restored to as many customers as possible on Friday, however, some customers who get their power from the high-voltage transmission towers could face a potential multi-day outage. AEP said as more information is gathered throughout Friday afternoon, those affected customers will receive an automated phone call. 

Specks and tatters of insulation lined sidewalks and the sides of houses at the Pine of Berlin Station, a subdivision near Berlin Middle School. Debris from inside houses — books, crayons, a broken pair of child’s glasses — were scattered in the grass.

“Someone else’s roof is in my kitchen,” said Katie Sprinkle, who weathered the storm with her husband and two kids, ages 9 and 11. The storm terrified her 9-year-old daughter.

“Pray loud, mom,” she said her daughter told her.

The kids wore bike helmets to protect themselves from falling debris, and her husband placed an overturned canoe over them. The family could hear windows breaking in the wind. It sounded like an explosion, Sprinkle said.

Delaware County road closures due to Thursday's storms

Several major traffic routes in Delaware County remained closed as of 7 a.m. Friday because of debris in the roadway. Ohio 315, closed between Hyatts Road and U.S. 23, is expected to remain closed at least through morning rush hour.

The Delaware County Sheriff's office is asking that people avoid the area where the aftermath of the storms are and avoid sightseeing. There are continued concerns about live wires and large trees in the roads.

In a post on Facebook Friday morning, the Delaware County Sheriff's office said crews have been working throughout the night to try and clear roadways but there are areas where debris continues to block roads. 

The sheriff's office asked for additional travel time and patience from drivers, as well as willingness to take alternate routes. 

The sheriff's office said that as of 5 a.m. Friday, a number of roads remained impassable. Those roads included: 

• Portions of Berlin Station Road near Glenn Parkway, between Kingsbury and Braumiller, between Piatt and Dale Ford
• Portions of Bunty Station east of Liberty Road
• Africa Road north of Cheshire
• Portions of Rome Corners
• Portions of Walnut Road and Piatt Road
• Portions of Ohio 3

Tornado warnings from Thursday night's deadly tornadoes

Storms hit indiana, kentucky and northern, central and southern ohio.

At least three confirmed tornadoes touched down Thursday afternoon in southern Indiana and north-central Kentucky Thursday, leaving dozens of structures damaged or destroyed,  The Louisville Courier-Journal reported .

Tornadoes were confirmed near Hanover and Marion in Indiana and near Milton in Kentucky. As for Ohio, officials have said it's too early to say just how widespread the storms were, or whether any confirmed tornadoes touched down.

Meteorologist Steve Harbenach of the National Weather Service in Wilmington said there have been several radar confirmations of possible tornadoes across Ohio, but added "we really have no idea right now how many tornadoes we had."

"There have been numerous areas where we've had reports of damage," he added. "It's going to take a while for us to sort through that. it's going to take multiple days for us to sort through this to see what happened."

An X user who was driving from Lima and passing through Logan took pictures of the extensive damage. In the post on X, he said authorities told him that he had missed a tornado "by about 2 minutes." He could not confirm if there were any casualties but said that a large section of U.S. Route 33 northwest of Marysville would remain closed as authorities assessed the damage.

Tornado watches remained in effect until midnight in dozens of Ohio counties, including Delaware, Fairfield, Fayette, Franklin, Hocking, Licking, Madison, Pickaway, Union, Ross, Butler, Clinton, Hamilton, Warren, Champaign, Clark, Drake, Greene, Logan, Miami, Montgomery, Preble and Shelby.

Severe thunderstorm warnings remained in effect for Franklin and Madison counties until 11 p.m. Thursday.

Russia establishes special site to fabricate fuel for China’s CFR-600

!{Model.Description}

A special production site to fabricate fuel for China’s CFR-600 fast reactor under construction has been established at Russia’s Mashinostroitelny Zavod (MSZ - Machine-Building Plant) in Elektrostal (Moscow region), part of Rosatom’s TVEL Fuel Company. 

As part of the project, MSZ had upgraded existing facilities fo the production of fuel for fast reactors, TVEL said on 3 March. Unique equipment has been created and installed, and dummy CFR-600 fuel assemblies have already been manufactured for testing.

The new production site was set up to service an export contract between TVEL and the Chinese company CNLY (part of China National Nuclear Corporation - CNNC) for the supply of uranium fuel for CFR-600 reactors. Construction of the first CFR-600 unit started in Xiapu County, in China's Fujian province in late 2017 followed by the second unit in December 2020. The contract is for the start-up fuel load, as well as refuelling for the first seven years. The start of deliveries is scheduled for 2023.

“The Russian nuclear industry has a unique 40 years of experience in operating fast reactors, as well as in the production of fuel for such facilities,” said TVEL President Natalya Nikipelova. “The Fuel Division of Rosatom is fulfilling its obligations within the framework of Russian-Chinese cooperation in the development of fast reactor technologies. These are unique projects when foreign design fuel is produced in Russia. Since 2010, the first Chinese fast neutron reactor CEFR has been operating on fuel manufactured at the Machine-Building Plant, and for the supply of CFR-600 fuel, a team of specialists from MSZ and TVEL has successfully completed a complex high-tech project to modernise production,” she explained.

A special feature of the new section is its versatility: this equipment will be used to produce fuel intended for both the Chinese CFR-600 and CEFR reactors and the Russian BN-600 reactor of the Beloyarsk NPP. In the near future, the production of standard products for the BN-600 will begin.

The contract for the supply of fuel for the CFR-600 was signed in December 2018 as part of a governmental agreement between Russia and China on cooperation in the construction and operation of a demonstration fast neutron reactor in China. This is part of a wider comprehensive programme of cooperation in the nuclear energy sector over the coming decades. This includes serial construction of the latest Russian NPP power units with generation 3+ VVER-1200 reactors at two sites in China (Tianwan and Xudabao NPPs). A package of intergovernmental documents and framework contracts for these projects was signed in 2018 during a meeting between Russian President Vladimir Putin and Chinese President Xi Jinping.
