Correction to Reuters Article - Point Beach Nuclear

["Sandy Perle" <sandyfl@EARTHLINK.NET>]

I received this information from a knowledgeable individual at the 

facility. The comments correct some of the mis-information or 

implications contained within the article. With permission, I am 

providing the individual's comments:



"The situation was discovered by plant staff, not NRC. We reported it 

to NRC and immediate corrective actions were taken.  Procedures were 

upgraded the next day to be more explicit about actions operators 

should take to prevent the problem. We then also installed a back-up 

air supply system to the valves in question to eliminate the 

possibility.  



Also, the plant is operated by Nuclear Management Company, not 

Wisconsin Energy. And Wisconsin Electric's name is now We Energies"
