FirstEnergy employees have found cracks in the nozzles of the reactor head at the Davis-Besse nuclear plant, which was closed from 2002 to 2004 because of a corrosion hole. Company spokesman Todd Schneider said Monday that the current problems are ''not nearly as significant as our 2002 event'' and that the company was working on repairs to the affected nozzles. Schneider said there was no public safety issue associated with the small amount of boric acid that had leaked, but caused no corrosion to the reactor. Schneider said if there was corrosion on the vessel head, company employees would have found it by now.
