The Minnesota Department of Public Safety and other state, county and city agencies will conduct a simulated emergency Tuesday at the Prairie Island Nuclear Generating Plant in Red Wing, Minn.

The annual drill tests the capabilities of federal, state and local agencies in the event of an incident at the plant, according to a news release from the Department of Public Safety.

People near the Prairie Island Nuclear Generating Plant in Dakota and Goodhue counties may see an emergency responder presence in the area, but there is no need for residents to be alarmed, officials said.
