Control rod power loss spurs New York reactor shutdown

2015-12-06 09:52:45| Energy - Topix.net

One of the Indian Point nuclear power plant's reactors was shut down Saturday after several control rods lost power, the plant owner said, marking the latest in a series of mishaps at the suburban New York plant this year. Control room operators safely shut down the Indian Point 2 reactor around 5:30 p.m., owner Entergy Corp. said in a statement, adding the reactor did what it's intended to do if control rods lose electricity.
