Radiation probe finds risks at Ohio nuclear plant

Four workers at Perry Nuclear Power plant exposed to higher radiation levels than normal

Nuclear plant workers in Ohio violated several safety regulations and had to avoid a 6-foot-deep hole in the floor when increased radiation levels forced them to flee their work area in April, federal regulatory officials said in a preliminary report.
