Dead Ender FitzPatrict: Damage From Plant Trip llimiting Power

Basically Fitz started up from a very hard plant trip on about July 7. The control room after the trip became very confused. Fitz has been stuck at 85% for about 10 days. Does it say something about the industry and region 1 with Salem 2 and Fitz being stuck in the unprofitable power (13% and 85% power) zone due to equipment troubles.

The second largest nuclear three plant facility in the USA (Hope Creek and Salam 1 and 2) are turning grossly unprofitable with all their recent equipment troubles and enormous idle capacity. It is a gross embarrassment with a enormous capacity being power restricted or shutdown during the vital public service summertime operations. I don't understand why the PJM ISO doesn't disqualified Salem and Hope Creek as being a reliable base load unit for the grid?
