Minnesota regulators are currently monitoring the cleanup of a leak of about 400,000 gallons of radioactive water from Xcel Energy Monticello's nuclear power plant.

"Xcel Energy took swift action to contain the leak to the plant site, which poses no health and safety risk to the local community or the environment," the utilities company said in a statement.

Xcel reported the leak of the radioactive water back in November 2022, but federal authorities told them they wanted more information before going public with the information, according to NBC News.

"We knew there was a presence of tritium in one monitoring well, however Xcel had not yet identified the source of the leak and its location," Minnesota Pollution Control Agency spokesman Michael Rafferty said, according to the outlet. 

It is in Minnesota.
