FirstEnergy has submitted paperwork to the Nuclear Regulatory Commission in its hopes to gain full control of the 2nd Unit at the Beaver Valley Nuclear Power Station. Two companpies, Ohio Edison and Toldeo Edison, hold a combined 40% of the 2nd Unit, with both leases set to expire in June 2017.  FirstEnergy hopes to have the plans for full control approved by next April. It is reported by NRC spokesman Neil Sheehan, that no potential ownership changes will change the day-to-day operations of the Beaver Valley Plant.
