Fermi 2 nuclear plant corrects security lapse

Published



FRENCHTOWN TOWNSHIP, Mich. (AP) — Federal inspectors say a now-corrected security lapse could have allowed unauthorized access to a protected area at DTE Energy’s Fermi 2 nuclear power plant in southeastern Michigan.

The Monroe News reported (http://bit.ly/1eZZ1uG ) Monday the Nuclear Regulatory Commission notified plant officials of the unspecified concern during a Feb. 6 inspection. Plant spokesman Guy Cerullo says the problem was fixed before inspectors left, and the corrections were confirmed by federal documents.
