Misunderstanding Leads to Nuclear Plant Evacuation
Parts of the Point Beach nuclear power plant in Manitowoc County were briefly evacuated after a nearby convenience-store clerk misunderstood a comment of a new employee.
The clerk told Two Rivers police that a man entered her store Tuesday about 7:15 a.m. and asked for directions to the power plant. As the man was leaving, the clerk heard him say he "came to blow up the place."
Police tracked down his rental car at the power plant and detained the man, a 23-year-old from Hull, Mass.
He told FBI agents he was a contractor who arrived for his first day, and what he told the clerk was that he "hoped he wouldn't blow up the place."
No charges were filed. What a way to start your day...
