Indian Point 3 Exits Unusual Event At 10:14 a.m.
February 5, 2007
Buchanan, NY—Entergy exited its Unusual Event at the Indian Point 3 Nuclear Power Plant at 10:14 this morning.
The Unusual Event was initially declared at 7:07 a.m. when the water level in the plant's service water bay area dropped more that 4½ feet below sea level. The plant was unaffected and continues operating at full power. Indian Point 2 is operating at full power.
Workers are removing debris from screens that appear to be the cause of the lowered water level. Service water cools certain plant equipment such as pumps and motors.
An Unusual Event is the lowest of four emergency action declarations. The declaration was terminated once the water level was restored within required limits.
