Nuclear plant outages in Connecticut North Carolina calm on radiation
Operators worked to restore full power at Millstone in Connecticut after five outages in five weeks, and a Brunswick unit in North Carolina was expected back online midweek. Officials said no radiation escaped. At Brunswick a stuck water level recorder caused a minor steam release inside containment. Millstone faced a heater malfunction that halted power briefly but the plant aimed to return to full power by Monday afternoon.
