Contractor falls into tank of water at Palisades

"COVERT TOWNSHIP, Mich. (WOOD) — A worker sustained minor injuries when they fell into a water-filled tank at the Palisades nuclear power plant in Southwest Michigan.

It happened Tuesday at the plant along Lake Michigan in Covert Township, south of South Haven, according to a report filed with the Nuclear Regulatory Commission.

Palisades owner Holtec International told News 8 in a statement that a contractor was working in the containment building when they fell into a tank above the reactor that was filled with water in preparation for future fuel movements. The report says the contractor swallowed some of the water."
