The plant is about 40 miles north of Boston and 10 miles south of Portsmouth. It has operated since 1990.
Authorities blamed human error Thursday for some sirens that were inadvertently activated at a New Hampshire nuclear power station last month.
The state Homeland Security and Emergency Management agency and Seabrook Station plant owner NextEra Energy Resources put out statements more than 30 minutes after beachgoers in nearby Hampton and Rye said they heard announcements about the beaches being closed on July 12 because of a problem at the plant. Ten of the 121 sirens were activated. The announcements sent some beachgoers scrambling but officials said that there was no emergency nor danger to the public.
The plant is about 40 miles north of Boston and 10 miles south of Portsmouth. It has operated since 1990. Officials with the Seabrook Nuclear Power Plant say the system is tested frequently, but after the false alarm, they want to improve their notifications to state and local agencies. New Hampshire Sen. Jeanne Shaheen wants a full review of the incident and communications breakdown.
