At about 8 p.m. Wednesday, a worker at FirstEnergy’s Davis-Besse reactor noticed a small leak during a walkdown of the reactor coolant system.

The unit east of Toledo, Ohio, was offline for scheduled maintenance and refueling, and a report filed with the Nuclear Regulatory Commission said RCS pressure and temperature were normal. The pinhole leak had a reported flow of 0.1 gallons per minute. The report gave the following technical description of the condition: “A pressure boundary leak was identified on the Reactor Coolant Pump (RCP) 1-2 1st seal cavity vent line upstream weld of 3/4 inch small bore pipe socketweld at a 90 degree elbow between the RCP pump and valve RC-407 (1st Seal Cavity Vent Isolation).”

A FirstEnergy spokeswoman told the Cleveland Plain Dealer that the coolant was cleaned up, and that no radioactive material was released into the atmosphere.

FirstEnergy Nuclear Operating Company operates Davis-Besse, which uses a 913 megawatt Babcock and Wilcox pressurized water reactor first licensed in 1977, according to the NRC.
