OTTAWA - The Canadian province of Ontario on Sunday apologized for wrongly raising the alarm about an incident at a massive nuclear power station near Toronto and blamed a training exercise mistake.
At around 7:30 a.m. ET cell phone users across Ontario - the most populous of Canada’s 10 provinces - received an alert about the supposed incident. Less than an hour later the Ontario Power Generation authority said the message had been a mistake. The initial message said there had been no abnormal leak of activity from the plant, which is located on the shores of Lake Ontario some 50 km east of downtown Toronto.
Human error during a training exercise was also blamed for an incident in Hawaii in January 2018 when authorities issued a false alert about an impending ballistic missile attack.The plant came online in 1971 and has a power-generating capacity of 3,100 megawatts when fully active. It is scheduled to be shut down in 2024.
