Operators at the Vermont Yankee Nuclear Power Plant terminated an unusual event at 8:28 pm Sunday evening, according to Laurence Smith, manager of communications at Entergy Nuclear Vermont Yankee.
The Unusual Event was declared at 7:05 pm, due to a loss of some control room alarm circuits. The problem was traced to an internal power supply which has since been restored. All control room alarm circuits are functioning properly, according to Smith's statement. The plant continues to operate at 100 percent power.
An unusual event is the lowest of four emergency classifications as defined by the Nuclear Regulatory Commission.
