Wolf Creek Re-Opens After Fire

Wolf Creek nuclear power plant is now re-open after a fire yesterday. A spokesman from eastern Kansas plant says a fire started in one of the plant's two emergency diesel generator rooms.

Employees extinguished the flames before the Coffey County Fire Department arrived. It's unclear what started the fire or what was damaged.

The spokesman says no injuries were reported and no radiation was released.
