The larger of Millstone Power Station’s two nuclear reactors is running again after shutting down three days ago, a spokesman said.
The so-called Unit 3 shut down automatically on Monday when a equipment that measures water flow into a generator lost power at the Waterford plant.
Ken Holt, spokesman for plant owner Dominion said today that plant personnel identified an electrical power distribution panel, not used for safety equipment, as the culprit behind the power shutdown.
He said the panel has been tested, reconfigured and reenergized.
