S Carolina nuclear site temporarily put on lockdown due to ‘security event’
A nuclear power plant in the US state of South Carolina was temporarily put on lockdown due to a "potential security event."
The security event at Savannah River Site began with detection of “explosive residue” on a vendor truck, the plant’s Facebook account said Monday.
However, "an offsite law enforcement investigation.. found no explosive residue or device on the truck,"said an update to the Facebook post.
An earlier post said "The event was declared after electronic and canine scans of a vendor delivery truck indicated a possibility of explosive residue on the truck. Law enforcement agencies from South Carolina and Georgia were called."
The initial post that broke out the news was part of the plant's "emergency response organization information process.”
Site barricades were closed to incoming traffic although there was "no indication of a consequence beyond the Savannah River Site boundaries."
