Refueling In the Coming Days at Oconee Nuclear Unit 3

A routine refueling of Unit 3 at the Oconee Nuclear Reactor will take place in the coming days. Duke Energy said the scheduled outage will require the reactor to be down for a few weeks.

In order to accomplish the refueling, additional workers are required, and Duke Energy said that traffic in the area will be heavier than normal due to those supplemental employees assisting with the outage.
