During Hurricane Francine, our plants underscore the resiliency and strength of nuclear power

09/12/2024

Entergy's Waterford 3 Nuclear Generating Station and River Bend Station in Louisiana and Grand Gulf Nuclear Station in Mississippi operated at full power during Hurricane Francine, which once again shows the resiliency and strength of nuclear power.

I want to praise our nuclear professionals - and those across our company -- who focused on in-depth preparation, strong teamwork and unparalleled collaboration, with the safety of our folks and our communities being at the core of every decision related to the storm. While we are still doing safety walkdowns, damage assessments and checking on our team members, our facilities in Louisiana and Mississippi performed exceptionally well.

While our plants stayed on the grid during the event, producing power for our customers, our people also shined. Their nuclear professionalism is impressive and appreciated, but not surprising. While power outages remain across southeast Louisiana and Mississippi, Entergy's utility crews continue to assess damages and work to restore power as safely and quickly as possible.
