Entergy Refuels River Bend Nuke in 17 Days

LCG, Oct. 11, 2001--Entergy Corp. patted itself on the back this morning for completing a 17-day refueling outage at its 935 megawatt River Bend nuclear power plant near Baton Rouge, La.

"This record-breaking refueling outage is the product of commitment, dedication and teamwork by all our employees across the Entergy system," crowed Randall Edington, vice president of operations at River Bend. "Their enthusiasm and energy level created this milestone achievement in this station's history."

The refueling, which was the shortest on record for any boiling water reactor of its kind in the world, was completed in about half the time of River Bend's previous best.

River Bend is also among the nation's most reliable nuclear plants. Prior to being taken out of service for refueling, the plant had a year-to-date operating capacity factor of 100 percent.
