According to plant owner Exelon, the Oyster Creek nuclear power station
in New Jersey was shut down early Monday morning, July 23, 2012 after a
power failure. Electrical service from the outside grid was disrupted
at around 3:41 a.m., and the plant’s emergency diesel generators kicked
in and powered the plant’s safety systems, said a statement from the
Nuclear Regulatory Commission. The problem appeared to be a grounded
230-kilovolt line, according to the NRC. Jersey...Base data |
