Remaining Units are both shut down right now since one had a radioactive leak and the other was in maintenance/refueling and discovered to suffer from the same conditions as the leaking unit that was abruptly shut down. Both are undergoing inspections for a fix, if there is a cost effective fix.
Won’t be long and all the partners will be begging for money to cover the expense of shutting down the entire plant permanently. They are pressing their luck trying to extend the life of the plant.

1. SONGS-2 and SONGS-3 have different issues. Review the NRC website for details.
2. MHI (Mitsubishi Heavy Industries) is paying for all repairs / engineering / mitigation. The steam generators are well within their warranty period. If replacement steam generators are called for, MHI will pay for them. This won’t cost rate payers a cent.

The longes the reactor is off online, the power company loses money. They will be working dilligently to get it on-line as soon as possible.
