Well, it was a clumsy shutdown and down power. This is all I've seen about the routine outage in the newspapers.
Hmm, Entergy helping nextera plants? This seems to imply its a routine outage.10/8: Senft, who was a guest in a room on the second floor, lives in Arkansas and is staying at the hotel temporarily while working at the Seabrook Station nuclear power plant during its routine outage.
Update 10/07
It is doubtful Millstone and Seabrook would be down at the same time.
I was told Seabrook was shutdown because of massive fuel pin leakage. I don't think this is plausible as it would be beyond reckless not to disclose it. These guys are that dumb.

Waterford — The security gate at the Millstone Power Station has been moved about a half mile south on the access road to nuclear power plant.
Ken Holt, spokesman for the nuclear power plant, said Wednesday that the security gate, which continues to be staffed by guards, was relocated by plant owner Dominion last week to better accommodate the increased number of workers during the refueling outage for Unit 2. The outage began on Saturday and is expected to last about a month.
still shut down...not a peek why it's shutdown.
Update 10/01
I think this is the case where if there no official comment about the plant shutdown...then it doesn't get in the news.
Hmm, it most be one of them secret shutdowns. It is shutdown today and not a peep out of news they are in refueling. I doubt it is in refueling.
Update 9/30
61% and still no response from the NRC...
*** ( 8:30 pm) Most of the day the NEISO was trending about $50 per megawatt-hour, then midafternoon spiked up to $325, came down to $50 for a few hours, then at 6 pm spiked up to $1150, right back down to $50 for an hour, now about $300.
We are in particularly mild weather at 70 degrees right now.
Maybe they took a lot of plants off for maintenance preparing for the winter?
***Just noticed, the grid price just spiked up to $325 in the last few hours? So Seabrook power has been trending down for a week. It seems this fall they might be going into refueling. They unusually coast down some say 2% a week or so for a month. This clearly doesn’t look like entering a refueling
Here is the last nine days

The senior resident kinda said curtly I can’t tell you anything for completive
reasons. That sounds like it is coast down to refueling.
But the drop to 59%/61% seems abnormal.
