Anonymous Coward User ID: 872688 Canada 06/28/2011 03:30 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Reactor power plant shut down Sunday in New Jersey due to reactor coolant problem! The Salem 2 nuclear power plant in southern New Jersey is shut down because of a problem with a reactor coolant pump. Spokesman Jo Delmar tells Today's Sunbeam of Salem that the Salem 2 reactor went offline automatically at 6 p.m. Sunday. Delmar says an auxiliary pump automatically kicked in when the main pump shut down. He says the cause is under investigation. Salem 2 is one of three reactors operated at the Artificial Island generating site in Lower Alloways Creek Township on the Delaware River. The Salem 1 and Hope Creek reactors continue to operate at full power. The three plants provide enough electricity to power 3 million homes.
