Actually the reactors at Zion were shut down many years ago. It was over
economics and politics. The plant (generators) is being used as an exciter
at the North end of ComEds grid. The NRC license may still be in effect,
but the reactors are not running. It has been a number of years since I
left ComEd but Zion 1 & 2 were mothballed when I did leave. I'd find it
hard to belive they were restarted.

Nope, Zion is permanently mothballed.

Physically it could be recommisioned, with todays energy woes who knows.
Never say never.
