Davis Besse [OHIO] has been shut down due to a steam leak on Saturday. A First Energy spokesman says the plant is under an "unusual event" classification, which is the lowest level emergency classification. The leak was found in the non-nuclear part of the plant. It has since been stopped and is currently in the process of being fixed. According to the spokesman, the public is not at any risk. The shutdown is not related to the storms earlier on Saturday.
