NRC cites N.H. plant for issues during emergency-preparedness drill

The finding affected the "objective to ensure that the licensee is capable of implementing adequate measures to protect the health and safety of the public in the event of a radiological emergency," the agency's report said. The issues are an indication of failure on the part of the workers at the facility, said Alan Griffith, a company spokesman. SeacoastOnline (Portsmouth, N.H.)
