PLYMOUTH — The Pilgrim nuclear power plant is back in production after being offline for seven days.
A spokesman for Entergy, Pilgrim’s owner, said early today that the
685-megawatt plant was reconnected to the region’s power grid shortly
after 6 p.m. Wednesday.
Engineers and crews manually shut down the plant’s reactors Jan. 10 when Pilgrim’s two large water recirculation pumps automatically shut off.
That problem was caused by the failure of an electrical relay. Entergy spokesman Rob Williams said. Entergy extended Pilgrim’s offline time to perform routine maintenance that can’t be done when the reactors are working.
Pilgrim was shut down in December for scheduled maintenance.
