False alarm goes off at NPPD

Nebraska Public Power District says an alert system
problem caused several sirens to unnecessarily sound near the district's nuclear
power plant near Brownville in southeast Nebraska.

The sirens went off around 8:15 this morning at Cooper Nuclear Station. The
district said in a news release that there was no problem at the plant that
required activation of the sirens.

The false alarm is being investigated. District spokesman Mark Becker says the
incident is being reported to federal regulators as well.
