BERWICK, Pa. - The security control building at a nuclear power plant was evacuated after a fire protection system was activated. There was no fire.
The building is in a non-nuclear area of PPL's Susquehanna plant, and is located about 100 yards from the buildings housing the plant's two nuclear reactors.
One security officer was in the building at the time and no other plant employees were affected, said Miriam Mylin, spokesman for PPL Susquehanna.
The company is investigating why the system activated and released halon and carbon dioxide gas.
