Federal report on Seabrook false alarm could be released by end of September
The federal report into the false alarm at Seabrook’s nuclear power plant could be made public by the end of September.
An inspector with the Nuclear Regulatory Commission is at the facility this week.
The plant already did its own review and found that human error set off 10 of the 121 alarms.

Changes are already being made to staffing, training and communication.
But one executive councilor said the entire system needs to be upgraded.
“There's still a lot of unrest, a lot of fear, a lot of concern, and a lot of worry despite the fact that Seabrook assured Seabrook officials that they will be going in on a quarterly basis to meet with them,” said Janet Stevens, of New Hampshire Executive Council District 3.
Stevens would like to see the plant install what's known as an Integrated Public Alert & Warning System (I-PAWS), which she says works like an Amber Alert.
