Grand Gulf’s Power History: Entergy’s Junk Southern Fleet?

June 12

Finally 100%

Update June 11

Miserable progress now at 94%. Six days to recover from a 50% down-power...  

Update June 10

at 77% today...they ain't making money at this power level. River Bend is at 66%.

Everyone in Region 1 is at 100% power.

*********************

Hmmm, River Bend and Grand Gulf is a struggling single unit facility? 

The whole deal reminds me of Pilgrim's shutdowns and power reductions over their junk new safety relief valves for six years.

It is driving me crazy why the exact same NRC event report came out on June 8 and June 9. Bet you it was a NRC screw-up, entergy came up with a update and the NRC just copied over the original by mistake today.

All plants in the same vicinity?

Grand Gulf's recent power history. 

June 9  95%

8  94%

On June 8^th at 8:15 pm Grand Gulf had a fire in their Electro Hydraulic Pump C terminal box. Again in 24 hours the reactor power level being stuck at 95% is highly unusual. 

7  79%

6  50% 

5  100%
