    Officials: Radiation 'could have' escaped plant

    No news is good news.

    A tiny amount of radiation could have escaped into the atmosphere from a Southern California nuclear power plant after a water leak prompted operators to shut down the reactor as a precaution, officials said Wednesday.

    Nuclear Regulatory Commission spokesman Victor Dricks said a small amount of radioactive gas "could have" escaped the San Onofre Nuclear Generating Station on the northern San Diego County coast.

    Southern California Edison spokesman Gil Alexander told The Associated Press the amount would have been "extremely small" and possibly not detectable by monitors.

    The company and federal regulators say the release would not have posed a safety risk for the public.

    "It would have been very, very small, low level, which would not pose a danger to anyone," Dricks said.


    I almost cut my hair, it happened just the other day.
    It was gettin' kinda long, I could've said it was in my way.
    But I didn't and I wonder why, I feel like letting my freak flag fly
