[(Title)] New Jersey’s Oyster Creek, oldest nuclear plant in U.S., closing Monday.

LACEY TOWNSHIP, N.J. — America's oldest nuclear power plant, the Oyster Creek Nuclear Generating Station in New Jersey, is shutting down Monday.

美国最古老的核电站——新泽西州的奥伊斯特河核电站——周一关闭。

The plant in Lacey Township near the Jersey shore will go offline at some point before 1 p.m., although officials will not say precisely when.

位于泽西海岸附近的核电站将在下午1点之前的某个时候停止运转，尽管官员们不会说明什么具体时间。

Oyster Creek went online Dec. 1, 1969, the same day as the Nine Mile Point Nuclear Generating Station near Oswego, New York.

奥伊斯特河核电站于1969年12月1日启动，与纽约奥斯威戈附近的Nine Mile Point核电站同日上线。

But Oyster Creek's original license was granted first, technically making it the oldest of the nation's commercial nuclear reactors that are still operating.

但是，奥伊斯特河核电站的许可证首先被授予，从技术上讲，它成为目前仍在运行的美国最古老的商业核反应堆。

The plant has dealt with corrosion and leaks during its time in service, but its owner, Chicago-based Exelon Corp. says the plant has always been safe.

这家工厂在服务期间处理了腐蚀和泄漏问题，但其所有者，芝加哥的埃克森公司(ExelonCorp.)表示，工厂一直很安全。

There will be 98 nuclear power plants operating in the U.S. after Oyster Creek closes.

在奥伊斯特河核电站关闭后，美国还有98座运行核电站。
