Residents across the Toronto area were sent a mobile alert after an “incident” was reported at a nuclear power plant in Canada on Sunday, but officials in Ontario later stressed that it was sent out in error.
The alert was sent out at around 7:30 a.m. local time, saying that Pickering Nuclear Generation Station produced “NO abnormal release of radioactivity” and that emergency staff were “responding to the situation,” while adding that locals “DO NOT need to take any protective actions.”
