different classification levels.

is a problem at the nuclear facility but no offsite emergency
action is necessary.

nuclear facility that has potential for a radiological release.
Washington County will begin emergency operations center

problem has occurred at the plant and small amounts of radiation
might have or could leak into the environment. Sirens will be
sounded. Public should tune to KFAB 1110 AM for information.

outside and off-site of the plant. Sirens will sound once again
and KFAB will continue broadcasting the latest updates for
