CP&L Says Wire Reports Inaccurate Carolina Power & Light denied wire service reports Tuesday that there are cracks in a nuclear reactor and which suggested that the company was considering closing the Brunswick plant. Some reports also said the crack in the Unit 1 core shroud was discovered by federal regulators. "None of these statements is accurate," said Roy Anderson, vice president of the Brunswick Plant. CP&L will make repairs in the core shroud, according to a company news release issued late Tuesday. "We have been doing a very thorough ultra sound investigation of the Unit 1 shroud, and based on the latest data, which have been gath ered within the past day, we will go forward with a repair of the shroud," said Anderson. The shroud is a stainless steel cylinder that directs the flow of water inside the reactor The shroud is inside a six-inch-thick reactor vessel. CP&L has been investigating indications of a crack in the shroud since early July and has been sharing its information with the federal Nuclear Regulatory Commission as data became avail able, Anderson said. The company performed an ultrasonic test of portions of the shroud and has taken a sample of the metal in the shroud wall for analysis. "Based on this preliminary information, CP&L has worked with General Electric Co.. the reactor manufacturer, to develop more sophisti cated ultrasonic test equipment to identify how deeply into the shroud metal the crack extends," the release said. "Based on the results of this more extensive investigation, we have decided to do a repair to the shroud before the unit is brought back into service." Anderson said. The repair will consist of adding stiffening braces around the top portion of the shroud. "These repairs will restore the strength of the shroud to its original strength for the remaining life of the Brunswick plant," Anderson said. CPA:!. estimates the outage will be extended by approximately four weeks, with the unit re turning to service in December.
