LACEY TOWNSHIP, N.J. (AP) - December 1, 2008
Just after 9 p.m. Friday, an electrical fault occurred in one of
the transformers that converts Oyster Creek's output for use on the
grid that serves the region.
That caused the plant to shut down automatically.
Repairs were still under way on Monday, and the plant's
operators, Exelon Corp. could not estimate when it might be back
online.
Spokesman David Benson says the sudden drop in water temperature
outside the plant because heated water was no longer being
discharged caused 38 fish to die since Friday.
