  One killed, 3 hurt in Arkansas nuclear plant accident
          One person was killed and three others injured Sunday in an accident at a nuclear plant in the U.S. State of Arkansas, the company said.
          The company, Entergy, said in a news release that "a significant industrial accident" happened around 7:45 a.m. at its Arkansas Nuclear One plant in Russellville, when a generator stator fell as it was being moved out of a turbine building.
          "There has been one confirmed fatality and three additional injuries," the company said, adding "We are deeply saddened by what has happened today," Jeff Forbes, Entergy executive vice president and chief nuclear officer, said in the news release.
          "Our greatest sympathy is with the family and friends of the employee who lost his life, and with those who sustained injuries, " it added.
          The injured workers have been transported to a nearby hospital, said officials. Entergy and the Arkansas Department of Health said the accident did not affect the plant's reactors. They also said radiation was not involved.
          Entergy, which celebrates its 100th birthday this year, is an integrated energy company engaged primarily in electric power production and retail distribution operations.
          Arkansas One, operated by Entergy, opened its first unit in 1974. Unit 2 was opened six years later in 1980. The two units combined provide around 30 percent of the state's total energy demand. Unit 1 is in a "refueling outage" and Unit 2 automatically shut down, the plant said in its news release.
          The plant is in an unusual event classification, the lowest of four emergency classifications designed by the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission. The plant said both units are in a "stable shutdown condition" and pose no danger to the public.

                  据当地网站报道,发生事故的核电厂位于阿肯色州首府小石城西北约112公里处的萨塞尔维尔,属于美国能源公司恩特吉公司所有。
       
       
                  当地时间上午7时45分左右,当工人们试图将一个发电机设备从涡轮机房搬出时,该设备突然掉落,砸在工人们身上。目前伤者已被送往医院治疗,两座核反应堆已被关闭,核电厂处于“非正常事件等级”状态。
       
       
                  核电厂官员表示,两座核反应堆目前处于稳定的关闭状态,不会给公众安全带来危险。当地卫生部门也认为这是一起工业事故,并不涉及辐射或影响到核反应堆。
       
       
                  该核电厂的两座核反应堆分别于1974年12月和1980年3月开始启用,为阿肯色州提供大约30%的电力需求。
