Ga. county is safe from a Fukushima Daiichi-type incident
The
events at the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear plant in Japan aren't likely to
occur in Burke County, Ga., where Southern Co.'s Plant Vogtle nuclear
plant is located, company spokesman Steve Higginbottom said. The county
recently held a nuclear-emergency drill, which was attended by federal,
state and local representatives. "The plant is not in a seismic active
zone, it's hundreds of feet above sea level and hundreds of miles from
the coast," Higginbottom said. WJBF-TV (Augusta, Ga.)
