POWER PLANT FLYOVER 

IF YOU LIVE OR TRAVEL NEAR THE PERRY NUCLEAR POWER PLANT IN NORTHEAST OHIO’S LAKE COUNTY, YOU MAY NOTICE SOME UN-USUAL ACTIVITY IN THE SKY THIS WEEK.
THE U.S. DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY SAYS IT WILL BE CONDUCTING LOW-ALTITUDE HELICOPTER FLIGHTS OVER THE PLANT STARTING MONDAY THROUGH THURSDAY. THE REASON? A HELICOPTER EQUIPPED WITH A SPECIAL AERIAL MEASURING SYSTEM WILL BE LOOKING FOR ANY SIGNS OF BACKGROUND RADIATION COMING FROM THE PLANT. WE'RE TOLD THESE RADIATION SURVEYS ARE NORMAL AND CONDUCTED AT NUCLEAR POWER PLANTS ACROSS THE COUNTRY.
