Davis-Besse Repairs Increase in Cost and Duration

LCG, Oct. 7, 2002--Repairs underway at the Davis-Besse nuclear power plant in Ohio will require that the plant be out of service until early next year, and are expected to cost owner FirstEnergy more than $100 million above what was originally estimated.

The cost of installing a new reactor head, estimated at between $55 million and $75 million, will remain the same, according to the company. This year's work necessary to bring the plant online will likely increase in cost by $65 million, while next year's follow-up maintenance is seen as incurring $50 million more in expenses than previous estimates.

While the plant is out of service, FirstEnergy has a supply of energy to replace the nuclear plant's output, due to hedging. Of the repairs being performed, only the new reactor head will be capitalized. A leak of boric acid resulted in a hole within the protective reactor head.
