Progress NC Brunswick 1 reactor to refuel early

Feb 27 (Reuters) - Progress Energy Inc's  938-megawatt Unit 1
at the Brunswick nuclear power plant in North Carolina will
not restart from an unplanned outage and instead will begin
a refueling outage a few days early than scheduled, a
company spokesman said on Monday.     

The unit shut Thursday after a problem with the power supply
for the plant's emergency core cooling system.    

The spokesman said repairs needed following the unplanned
shutdown have been completed and Brunswick 1 is transitioning
to the refueling outage work schedule which had been scheduled
to begin later this week.      

Meanwhile, Brunswick 2, rated at 920 MW, was operating at full
power Monday.
