The Pilgrim Nuclear Power station in Plymouth is back online and re-connected with the grid.
That word from the plant’s owner and operator, Entergy.
Spokesman Patrick O’Brien says the re-connect occurred at 1:52 Monday morning after the plant’s final planned refueling outage.
O’Brien says Entergy invested about $54 million in the refueling operation, RFO-21, which included bringing in more than 800 skilled, temporary workers to assist the plant’s 620 full-time employees to upgrade, replace, and inspect hundreds of pieces of equipment.
The Pilgrim Nuclear Plant is scheduled to be shut down no later than June 1, 2019.
