Experts working to determine source of leak, says plant VP

June 8, 2009 ATED STORY

A tritium leak was found during routine monitoring of Exelon Corp.'s Dresden nuclear plant last week, but contaminated water was contained to the property and did not pose a public health threat, company officials said today.

Testing at Dresden, near the Grundy County town of Morris about 60 miles southwest of Chicago, found tritium levels of 3.2 million picocuries per liter of water in a monitoring well, storm drains and concrete vault. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's limit for drinking water is 20,000 picocuries per liter.

The Lower Dauphin School Board approved an agreement with the owner of Three 

Mile Island that nearly doubles the property taxes the company pays the district each 

year. 

The board voted unanimously Monday night for the deal in which AmerGen Energy Co. 

will pay the district $637,000 a year from 2008 through 2017. Under a 2005 deal, the 

company paid $320,000 a year. 

The agreement calls for AmerGen to annually pay a total of $930,000 to the school 

district, Dauphin County and Londonderry Twp., the nuclear facility's host municipality. 

It previously paid the three a total of $450,000.
