A nuclear plant run by Public Service Enterprise Group shut down at around 10:15 a.m. today as employees were testing a core cooling system, the company said.
Salem 1, located near the Delaware River in Salem County, is one of three reactors PSEG runs in the area, and it shut down while another reactor, Hope Creek, was already out for refueling maintenance.
"It will be a couple days before we know what actually happened," said PSEG Nuclear spokesman Joseph Delmar, who said several fire alarms went off in the incident, but no fires were found.
The plant is now stable and nearby reactor Salem 2 was unaffected, Delmar said.
