Findings have been addressed, according to the Nuclear Regulatory Commission
Oyster Creek Generating Station has returned to service after a 42-day refueling and maintenance outage.

The power generator was taken offline on Oct. 22 for a planned refueling outage. Since that outage, the NRC has reported the discovery of “indications,” or precursors to cracks, in the reactor nozzle and a pinhole leak in the reactor vessel head cooling system.

Local protesters will be participating in a National Day of Solidarity at Oyster Creek Generating Station from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. Saturday. “The main premise of our demonstration tomorrow is in reference to the Vermont Yankee nuclear plant,” said Benjamin Davies, staff director of the New Jersey Environmental Federation. A U.S. district judge in Brattleboro, Vt. ruled that the Vermont Yankee nuclear plant could remain open beyond it’s scheduled shutdown date this year.
