Don't forget the historic unreliability of the whole Entergy's fleet of nuclear plants!!!!
Check out all the grid and plant issues that conspired to create a grid emergency. Grand Gulf had horrendous grid availability for the last few years
Patton also noted that the transmission and generation outages and extreme weather in the South led to 22 days of conservative operations in load pockets and three days with maximum generation alerts in April. An emergency maximum generation event on April 4 was spurred by the loss of a large nuclear unit, apparently Entergy’s Grand Gulf 1 in Mississippi, which the Nuclear Regulatory Commission reported going out of service because of a condensate leak.
