Great headline, but not much of a story. A transformer apparently exploded in an area of the compound that doesn&#x27;t do anything nuclear.<p>We covered this in Utility Dive on Monday: <a href="http://www.utilitydive.com/news/fire-sparks-shutdown-at-entergy-nuclear-plant/203887/" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.utilitydive.com&#x2F;news&#x2F;fire-sparks-shutdown-at-ente...</a>

Obviously I&#x27;ll be glad for a few more details of this incident, but as far as I can tell, two days ago a electric transformer went pop. The only reason this has appeared on HN is because of the magic &quot;nuclear&quot; word, even though the fire happened outside the nuclear area of the site.
