Talk:Davis–Besse Nuclear Power Station

Discharge of firearm
I'm moving this for now to the talk. This seems to just be a random unrelated event, you might as well have a section for people who have slipped on ice in a 5 mile radius to DB. I suggest this gets taken out 99.155.85.102 (talk) 07:11, 20 March 2011 (UTC)

2009 unintentional discharge of firearm
In November 2009, a plant security officer was using the restroom and his firearm discharged while in the holster. The officer sustained a non life threatening wound to his calf. No cause was found for the discharge.

Origin
Does anyone know the origin of the name of the plant? Who or what was "Davis" and "Besse" before that name was applied to the plant? 02:39, 13 May 2006 66.69.163.37

"The indictment names other employees as providing false information to inspectors as well, but does not name them."? I don't know the details, so I'm hesitant to change this, but I imagine this meant to say that the indictment asserted that other employees provided false information, without specifically naming which other employees did so. -Chinju 21:45, 21 January 2006 (UTC)

The plant was originally jointly owned by Cleveland Electric Illuminating (CEI) and Toledo Edison (TE). As of 2006, it is operated by the FirstEnergy Nuclear Operating Company subsidiary of FirstEnergy Corp. The plant was named for former TE Chairman John K. Davis and former CEI Chairman Ralph M. Besse.

Updates Needed

More Updates Needed
There are expanding cracks in the concrete of the containment building. This is kind of serious. Shouldn't this be mentioned?

Close paraphrasing
Copyright concerns were raised with this article at Copyright problems/2012 March 12, with duplication being detected between one section and a recent article in The Economist,. Checking this verifies that some content added to Wikipedia from this article does not meet our copyright requirements. Please see the Duplication Detector report linked from the template on the article.

While facts are not copyrightable, creative elements of presentation – including both structure and language – are. For an example of close paraphrasing, consider the following from that source:
 * Various signs of incipient trouble—air filters clogging up too frequently, borate salts of unusual consistency and rusty colour building up—were not fully investigated. When the reactor was opened for maintenance in 2002, it was discovered that boric acid had eaten a head-sized hole pretty much all the way through the top of the reactor vessel. Only a thin layer of stainless steel was holding things together. As the plant’s operator, FirstEnergy, later reported, “there was a focus on production, established by management, combined with taking minimum actions to meet regulatory requirements, that resulted in the acceptance of degraded conditions.” Disaster was only narrowly avoided.

The article says:
 * In 2002, there were various signs of "incipient trouble" -- air filters clogging up too frequently, borate salts of unusual consistency and rusty color building up -- but these were not fully investigated. When the reactor was opened for maintenance in March 2002, it was discovered that boric acid had eaten a head-sized hole most of the way through the top of the reactor vessel (see photo). Only a thin layer of stainless steel was holding things together.

I have bolded precise duplication to make clearer where issues exist.
