SCRIBA, N.Y. (AP) – Operators of 1 of the nuclear reactors on Lake Ontario near Oswego shut down their reactor today to fix a leaky cooling water re-circulation pump.

Constellation Energy, owner of the Nine Mile Point nuclear plant in Scriba, says it shut down its Unit Two reactor in a planned and controlled shut down. Utility spokeswoman Jill Lyon says an upper pressure seal on a large pump failed and will be replaced.

She would not comment how long the repair work would take.
