Braidwood Unit 1 was placed back in service at 3:57 a.m. Saturday. The unit also automatically shut down August 16 after water came in contact with an electrical bus causing the system to power down, Exelon said.
The station's two nuclear energy units can produce a total of more than 2,300 megawatts at full power, enough electricity to power more than 2 million homes. The plant is located 60 miles southwest of Chicago.
