Nuke Officials Investigates Worker Exposure at Davis-Besse Plant
LCG, October 3, 2002The Nuclear Regulatory Commission is examining the extent to which FirstEnergy employees were exposed to radioactive materials at the companys Davis-Besse plant.Five investigators from the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) have gone to Ohio to determine the level of radiation five Davis-Besse workers received this year.The workers were found carrying microscopic radioactive particles and had also ingested radioactive material on the same scale. Tests conducted on the five workers by NRC and by FirstEnergy investigators yielded different results; FirstEnergy found says radiation doses were within legal limits, while NRCs preliminary tests suggest higher-than-allowed radiation.Further tests will follow, and if the level of exposure is illegally high, the company may incur more harsh regulations, although a fine is unlikely.The plant showed up in the news earlier this year when boric acid ate a hole through the steel reactor head, but the exposures being investigated are not related to the hole, which reportedly posed no health risk.
