Pilgrim Nuclear powered back up Wednesday





Pilgrim Nuclear powered back up Wednesday

Plant had been taken off the grid on Valentine's Day
Pilgrim Nuclear Power Plant in Plymouth is back online after being reconnected to the grid Wednesday. In a statement from the plant's parent company Entergy, Senior Communications Specialist Lauren Burm said Pilgrim began generating electricity at 1 a.m.

The facility had been taken offline on Saturday in anticipation of the weekend snowstorm. The decisions was made in the event of a "a potential loss of offsite power or the grid's inability to accept the power Pilgrim generates," Burm said.

During this most recent shutdown, Burm said all offsite power sources remained connected to the plant.

This is the second time this winter the plant has been shut down due to storm conditions. On January 27 the facility was taken offline after the two main power transmission lines were knocked out by blizzard conditions. Although the transmission lines were restored within a few days, the plant remained offline until February 7 at which time it was reconnected to the grid.
