Entergy’s River Bend nuclear power plant near St. Francisville was forced into a temporary emergency shutdown over the weekend due to a technical issue, but was brought back online the following day, officials said.
The shutdown, known as a “SCRAM” incident and which saw control rods dropped into the plant’s reactor core to halt its nuclear reaction, occurred on Saturday.
