A three-member team from the Nuclear Regulatory Commission arrived at the Susquehanna power plant near Berwick to look into operator performance, equipment reliability and decision-making, the agency said.
The move comes after three unplanned reactor shutdowns between Nov. 9 and Dec. 19. None of the incidents posed a safety threat, said Joe Scopelliti, a spokesman for Allentown-based PPL Corp., which operates Susquehanna.
"We did a thorough investigation of the causes of the shutdowns," said Scopelliti, noting the company is cooperating with the inspection.
