Beyond declining demand and prices, Entergy was stung by output disruptions, which contributed to a 44 percent drop in profit from its reactors. The company, which supplies power to about 2.7 million utility customers in Arkansas, Louisiana, Mississippi and Texas, got about 65 percent of its 2008 earnings from nuclear plants outside its service territories.
