Hinkley
Point power station 'smoke' sighting was a false alarm
Fire
services were alerted on Saturday morning after residents in Burnham
reported seeing plumes of 'smoke' over Hinkley Point power station
- as pictured above.
The
tall pillar of 'white smoke' was visible for miles around Bridgwater
Bay and appeared to be coming from the eastern end of the power
station site.
On
further investigation, it was found to be nothing more than harmless
steam emerging from one of the station's cooling towers.
