Davis Bessie Nuclear Power Plant

Houses stand near the cooling tower of the Davis-Besse nuclear power plant in Carroll Township near Oak Harbor, Ohio, March 12, 2002. An acid leak had eaten a 6-inch deep hole in the reactor's steel safety cover. The damage was the most extensive corrosion ever at a U.S. nuclear reactor and led to a nationwide review of all 69 similar plants. Two plants, one in Tennessee and another in Texas, have found leaks and a small amount of corrosion on the reactor heads.
