Palisades nuclear power plant shut down again

Another shutdown at Palisades nuclear power plant, Canadian Business By AP  | September 26, 2011, COVERT TOWNSHIP, Mich. (AP) — The Palisades Nuclear Plant in southwestern Michigan has shut down five days after restarting from an earlier shutdown. Operators of the southwestern Michigan plant say the plant shut down automatically from full power about 3:10 p.m. Sunday because of an electrical breaker fault…..

Palisades is in Van Buren County’s Covert Township, about 55 miles southwest of Grand Rapids. It was shut down Sept. 16 because of a loss of water in a cooling system, then brought back on the grid last Tuesday.

The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission inspected the plant in August after a water pump component failed. http://www.canadianbusiness.com/article/47439–another-shutdown-at-palisades-nuclear-power-plant
