After a false alarm from the Seabrook Nuclear Power Plant in New Hampshire prompted evacuations of area beaches, emergency response officials are talking about what would happen in an actual emergency.
"I think an incident like yesterday, where the alarm was sounded in error, causes a lot of angst for people," said Hampton Fire Chief Michael McMahon, also the town's director of emergency management."It gets them nervous and frightened, and they really don't need to be."
By the time an alert like the one heard Tuesday is broadcast, he sys they would likely have enough notice and time to mobilize resources. "We have two, at least two, resident inspectors assigned to every plant in the country, and they're basically our eyes and ears at the plant," Screnci said."We expect the companies … to figure out what happened and why it happened and take steps to prevent re-occurrence. Our inspectors will follow the company's actions as they work to address this issue."
"As we're looking around, everyone looked panicked," said Kylie Croteau, who was also at Hampton Beach Tuesday."What scared me the most was the lifeguard really didn't know what was going on and really looked panicked. I was like, 'We should probably leave.'"
