FirstEnergy Corp. (FE) (FE) is repairing a leak
discovered June 6 as it restarted Davis-Besse nuclear station in
Ohio following a refueling outage, a company spokeswoman said.FirstEnergy can’t say for competitive reasons when it
expects to complete the repair to the reactor’s coolant system
or when the 913-megawatt unit will come online, Jennifer Young,
a spokeswoman for the Akron, Ohio-based company said in a
telephone phone interview today.The amount of radioactive water that sprayed through the
pinhole-sized leak was “relatively small” and no radiation was
discharged from the plant, Young said.
"…can't say for competitive reasons…"
Would that reason be that competitors would point out that you are leaking radioactive gunk, and that might cause an advantage for your 'safer' competition?
