TradeTech, The Nuclear Review , August 1999. A number of U.S. nuclear plants were shut down for extended outages for operational or regulatory reasons, including the two-unit Cook plant, the Millstone units, the Zion plant, and a number of others. Some, including the Zion station and Millstone Unit 1, would be closed permanently as a result. A number of those buyers were seeking to lock in fixed or base-escalated pricing terms in the event the market rose even higher. A growing realization among market participants of the potential for serious oversupply became apparent during the first half of 1998.
