Virginia's Surry Nuclear Plant Reduces Power in Unit 2

---

Researched by Industrial Info Resources (Sugar Land, Texas)--Surry Nuclear Power Plant, which is located in Surry, Virginia, reduced its power in Unit 2 on Monday as a result of a faulty feed water seal. The station is operated by Dominion Generation and owned by Dominion Resources Incorporated (NYSE:D) (Richmond, Virginia).

Officials initially thought they would have to take the unit completely offline, but instead decided perform repairs while the unit is de-rated. Officials expect to have the unit back to full power by mid-week.

There was no danger to the environment, nor was there any impact to Unit 1, which is currently operating at full power.

The Surry station has two triple-loop Westinghouse pressurized-water reactors, each with a capacity of more than 800 megawatts.
