Plymouth: Unusual event declared at Pilgrim turns out to be local hunters

A so-called unusual event – the least serious of four emergency classifications of events that apply to nuclear power plants as defined by the NRC – was declared just before 10:00 a.m. on Saturday at the Pilgrim Nuclear Power Plant for security considerations.

It turned out that the suspicious activity near the plant was just a number of local hunters. Pilgrim implemented its Integrated Security Response Plan and state and local public safety agencies were notified and assisted in the response.

The plant discontinued the unusual event just after 11:00 a.m. on Saturday.
