SEABROOK, N.H. — More than a dozen frightened and some “hysterical” residents called police during a simulated news broadcast of a meltdown at the Seabrook nuclear power plant, police said Monday.
Police Chief Paul Cronin said the Sunday night radio broadcast, a political advertisement for JoAnn Shotwell, a candidate for Massachusetts attorney general and an anti-Seabrook Democrat, was “irresponsible.”
Shotwell interrupted the broadcast at five-minute intervals to explain the simulation, but Cronin said that did not stop residents’ calls.
