Davis-Besse Nuclear Power Plant
FirstEnergy has reported a radioactive leak at the Davis-Besse Nuclear Power Plant. The report was issued to the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) Thursday.
According to the NRC, radioactive tritium was leaking from a drainage pipe within the plant Wednesday. Around 4:00 p.m., officials identified the Turbine and Water Treatment Building sump discharge line to be leaking.
An NRC spokesperson tells NBC24 that the water supply in Oak Harbor and Carroll Township is not threatened.
The radioactive material remains at Davis-Besse. The cause of the leak is unknown at this time.
