Real Life "The Simpsons": Radioactive Goldfish Found At Nuclear Plant

[Initech]

Operators of a nuclear reactor near Cleveland are reviewing security cameras and log books to find out who left a pair of goldfish in an underground steam tunnel at the plant.

The goldfish found swimming in a juice pitcher placed inside the secure area didn’t pose a safety concern, but the episode is an embarrassment for the plant already under increased scrutiny for its worker training and procedures.

It’s almost certain that an employee or contractor smuggled them into the Perry nuclear power plant alongside Lake Erie, said Jennifer Young, a spokeswoman for FirstEnergy Corp.

“This is not behavior that’s acceptable,” she said Friday.

Workers removing scaffolding inside the tunnel discovered the goldfish earlier this week. Normally when the plant is operating no one is allowed in that area because of the potential for radiation exposure, but the reactor has been shut down since mid-March for routine maintenance.
