What state?

I see it's Michigan. We have a Monroe and Wayne County right next to Rochester, NY, but our nuclear plant is Ginna.

[GRRRRR]

This is in DETROIT

FIRST RULE of Journalism: Who, what, when, WHERE... Do you have any other information that you might know about relating to this Nuke Plant? How Old, how far away are you? Where is it located relationship to major population centers... Thanks G

Monroe County has two identified National Security Threats - They are the Monroe Electrical Power Generating Plant, and the Fermi 2 Nuclear Power Plant.

Monroe County is located with the 50 mile Emergency Planning Zone of the Davis Bessie Nuclear Power Plant.

My former brother-in-law works at this plant. Lots of ex-Navy personnel. Will not expound any further...

Let's see. Michigan? Largest expatriate Muslim population in the country? Recent announcement on Islamist web sites that the 'well laid plans' are coming to fruition? NJ Coptic family slaughtered for revealing Muslim repression of Egyptian Christians? Nah...couldn't be...could it?

Did they find some half-eaten chinese takeout and chopsticks thrown in a corner?

Near Detroit. Bookmarking for follow-up reports.

It's south of Detroit and WDIV Detroit says there are no plans for evacuations etc., as it is a "small leak". Bump for later.

A "situation" could be anything from an equipment malfunction to a fight between employees.

Small coolant fluid leak, no immediate danger, plant shut down, no evacuations.

Nuclear Regulatory Commission Says Leak Is No Threat To Public

Monroe County emergency teams report there is a small leak inside the Fermi II plant Monday afternoon.

The leak reportedly involves a coolant fluid that keeps the reactors cool.

The Nuclear Regulatory Commission says there is no immediate threat to the public.

The plant has been shut down, but there are no evacuations.

WXYZ update:

State and county safety officials were called to the Fermi II nuclear plant in Monroe early Monday evening to investigate a coolant leak situation.

Michigan, Wayne and Monroe County authorities responded to what they called a "situation" within the plant around 6:00 p.m.

Minutes later, DTE officials confirmed that there were indications that there had been a leak of reactor coolant into the containment area. There were no evacuations at the plant, and there were no signs of any release of radiation.

Perry Power plant east of Cleveland had a "Situation" a few weeks ago too. Been offline since.

Oops, that's just a few miles from me! Hope all is well. My husband has TV on Gunsmoke.

Weird coincidence at Fermilab research facility reported by Chicago newspaper today. While the post is about the nuke it seems, it is strange that the similarly-named lab would have news today also. SCADA?

Fermilab re-opening to the general public

As of today, January 24, 2005, visitors again will be able to drop in on Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory.

--snip--

"There are no weapons programs or highly sensitive research programs at Fermilab that would make the facility stand out for a high-profile terrorist attack, he said. But caution is still justified: "We are a government laboratory, and any government institution could be a target."

State, Wayne, and Monroe officials were called to the Fermi II nuclear plant...
