NORTH PERRY, Ohio (AP) - A malfunctioning instrument falsely indicated elevated radiation at the Perry nuclear power plant early Tuesday, prompting operators to declare an alert for more than five hours.
The plant continued to operate without interruption and no radiation was released, FirstEnergy Nuclear Operating Co., a unit of FirstEnergy Corp. of Akron, said in a news release.
The emergency alert was declared at 3:44 a.m. and called off at 9:01 a.m. The alert is the second lowest in seriousness of four emergency classifications ranked by federal regulators.
The company said that while a monitoring system indicated an elevated radiation level, other monitors showed normal readings, and the faulty one will be repaired. The plant is located alongside Lake Erie about 25 miles northeast of Cleveland.
