The Point Lepreau Nuclear Generating Station came back online Monday, according to NB Power.

It was taken offline on March 17 due to what the utility described as an issue with a cooling fan.

“With the station offline, a full diagnostics and assessment were conducted, and the necessary repairs were completed safely and efficiently,” NB Power said in a news release on Tuesday.

“There was no safety risk to the public or to the environment.”

No word yet on how much the repairs and the week-long outage cost the utility.
