Original Message I am very close to this. From what I understand a steam turbine fell on top of workers while working an outage. There are reports of several injuries. Early reports from inside the facility say fatalities but its not being reported on MSM. We did hear the loud noise with this as well as our house briefly shake. Campers are leaving the area but I can't confirm if the outage company has been demobilized.

RUSSELLVILLE, AR- Pope County Authorities confirm that an accident has happened at Arkansas Nuclear One.

The reactor has not been affected.

At 8 a.m. this morning, witnesses report hearing a loud noise coming from an area where heavy equipment is being used to work on a generator.

The accident apparently happened in a turbine building, separate from the reactor.

There is no word yet on whether anyone has been injured.

Emergency workers are on the scene.

We have a crew on the way, and will have more information as it becomes available.
