BUCHANAN, N.Y. - Entergy Corp.'s Indian Point 3 nuclear power plant in the New York City suburbs has been disconnected from the electrical grid because of a problem with a transformer.
Plant owner Entergy says there was no release of radioactivity and no threat to workers or the public.
The company says operators saw signs of degradation in the transformer on Tuesday. It was disconnected Tuesday night for repairs.
Entergy says Indian Point 3 will go back online when alternate power is connected to pumps and motors.
Indian Point 2, the other reactor at the site in Buchanan, is still operating at full power.
