Loud bangs cause alarm in Heysham, Morecambe and Lancaster after 'incident' at nuclear power station

A series of loud banging noises at a nuclear power station caused alarm among residents in Heysham last night.

I live about 16 miles away from Heysham power station (as the crow flies). I have checked my data and everything seems normal around that time and afterwards.

Looks like they very recently restarted operations at one reactor.

The bangs happened after this? Reactor SCRAM?

**Deleted because I got completely mixed up between Heysham 1 and Heysham 2** :S
