I was just reading up on it because someone asked me if it was warm (the water there at Gibbons) year round, it WOULD be if the power plant were active year round but I was looking to see if the status of whether it was "online" or not was posted anywhere haven't found it so far, but did find those rules, thought I would post them up.
