The Oyster Creek Nuclear Plant in Lacey Township has shut down again, this time because of an electrical disturbance in the ”non-nuclear” part of the plant, spokesperson Suzanne D’Ambrosio said…….

he NRC ’s performance indicator for unplanned scrams for each 7,000 hours of operation changes from green to white if a nuclear plant has more than three unplanned shutdowns. Oyster Creek crossed the green/white threshold on July 11, 2014, when the plant had a fourth unplanned shutdown, the NRC has said.

Oyster Creek is the oldest nuclear plant in the United States. It went online on Dec. 23, 1969. http://patch.com/new-jersey/lacey/oyster-creek-nuclear-plant-shuts-down-again-0
