Item 8.01 Other Events

On April 21, 2005, FirstEnergy Nuclear Operating Company (FENOC), a wholly owned subsidiary of FirstEnergy Corp. (Company), announced that it was reviewing a notice of violation by the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) and a proposed $5.45 million fine related to the corrosion issue at the Davis-Besse Nuclear Power Plant, which is jointly-owned by the Company's Cleveland Electric Illuminating and Toledo Edison subsidiaries. The press release is attached as Exhibit No. 99.1 and incorporated by reference herein.

The corrosion problem on the plant's reactor head was discovered during a comprehensive inspection and reported to regulators in March 2002. Subsequently, FENOC investigated the causes of the problem, replaced the reactor head, and made numerous staff changes, as well as enhancements to plant programs and equipment. Davis-Besse has operated safely and reliably after it was successfully restarted in March 2004.

The NRC said in a letter to FENOC that this action does not reflect the current performance of Davis-Besse and no further civil enforcement action is expected, absent any new information from the Department of Justice.
