A refrigerant leak caused a brief alert at the nuclear power plant in Callaway County but officials say no dangerous radioactive material was released.

Ameren Missouri official issued an alert for the plant near Fulton about 11 a.m. Sunday, saying a refrigerant leak was reported in one of two rooms that contain the air conditioning system for the plant. The situation had ended by 5:30 p.m.

It prompted Mid-Missourians to ask what the alert meant for them, so we wanted to look into the four levels of alert for the plant.

Tonight at 10, we'll examine what each level of alert at the plant signifies and what Mid-Missourians should do if they get an alert about the plant.
