At 3:40 p.m. yesterday afternoon @DominionEnergy’s Millstone Unit 3 unexpectedly went offline *again*, little more than 72 hours after returning to service from its previous unscheduled outage on April 1.
What is going on at Millstone Unit 3? There’s cause for concern, I’d say.

Here’s the @NRCgov Event Notification Report.
Notable that, per the Event Notification Report, Millstone Unit 3 was operating at 82% capacity three days after returning to service. I don’t think it ever reached 100%. Query whether MU3 was ready for prime time when it was returned to service on 4/11?
Here is the NRC’s Event Notification Report for Millstone Unit 3’s April 1 outage.
A public meeting (via webinar) to discuss Millstone’s 2019 safety record is scheduled for 4/21 at 4 pm.
“The NRC will respond to questions from NEAC members and then the public on specific performance issues at the plant and our role in ensuring safe plant operations.”

The 21st also happens to be day that Millstone Unit 2 is scheduled to begin refueling.
Okay, enough about Millstone. Stay safe everyone.
