Missouri's Callaway Nuclear Station Goes Offline for Repairs

---

Researched by Industrial Info Resources (Sugar Land, Texas)--Callaway Nuclear Generating Station, located in Fulton, Missouri, was taken offline today following a reactor coolant system (RCS) leak. The plant is owned by Ameren Corporation (NYSE:AEE) (Saint Louis, Missouri) and operated by subsidiary Ameren Missouri.

Plant officials still are trying to pinpoint the leak and must allow the unit to cool before starting repairs. The unit does not pose any danger to the environment at this time.

The Callaway station has a single generating unit: a Westinghouse four-loop pressurized water reactor, and a General Electric (NYSE:GE) (Fairfield, Connecticut) turbine generator. It produces 1,190 megawatts at full load.
