BYRON (WREX) -
Byron Generating Station Unit 1 returned to full power Tuesday evening following repairs to a main power transformer, according to Paul Dempsey from Nuclear Communications.
The unit automatically shut down March 3 after a large chunk of ice was found underneath the unit's transformers, leading officials to believe an "ice intrusion" interrupted power. Byron Station Unit 2 continued to operate during Unit 1's shutdown.
With both units at full power, the site produces enough electricity for 2.3 million homes, according to a news release.
