BERWICK, Pa. — An explosion at the Susquehanna Nuclear Plant injured two workers early Saturday, contaminating one man with radioactive dust, officials said.
No radiation was released into the atmosphere, and the plant continued operating, said Jim Marsh, spokesman for the plant’s owner, Pennsylvania Power & Light Co.
“No danger to the public exists,” Marsh said of the 9 a.m. accident, which was termed an “unusual event,” the lowest level of nuclear emergency.
The plant is located 94 miles northwest of Philadelphia.
