Both Calvert Cliffs nuclear units go offline due to D.C. area disruption

Both Calvert Cliffs nuclear units in Maryland tripped offline on April 7, according to a report that operator Exelon filed with the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC).
Both units were still listed at zero generation early April 8, according to NRC data. In a news release, Exelon confirmed that the shutdown was the result of “localized grid disturbance that caused power outages in the Washington, D.C./Maryland area.”
