Power plant unit up and running
BERWICK - Unit 2 at the PPL Susquehanna nuclear power plant resumed generating electricity for the power grid Friday for the first time since shutting down Dec. 16.
An electrical connection problem caused an automatic shutdown during a routine, scheduled turbine valve test. An unrelated issue with the positioning of a valve on one of the unit's main water pumps during start-up activities extended the out-of-service time.
Unit 1 at PPL Susquehanna continues operating safely at full power. The Susquehanna plant, in Luzerne County about seven miles north of Berwick, is owned jointly by PPL Susquehanna LLC and Allegheny Electric Cooperative Inc. and is operated by PPL Susquehanna LLC.
