Palo Verde
nuclear reactors shut down
Apr 12, 2006 - The Tribune, Mesa, Ariz.
Apr. 12--All three reactors at the Palo Verde nuclear plant, which
supplies energy to the Valley and four other states, were down Monday
and Tuesday, each for a different cause, said Jim McDonald, spokesman
for Arizona Public Service Co., which operates the plant.
Unit 2 was shut down Monday for problems with a water valve and is
expected to be back up today if it passes overnight tests.
Unit 3 was shut down last week for scheduled refueling and is
expected back in May.
Unit 1 has heavy vibration on a cooling line and has been shut down
since late March with no expected return date.
