Rat short-circuits power plant
As HLN reports, a Japanese power plant may have a rodent to blame for its short-circuiting. Two years after the plant experienced major meltdowns and released high levels of radiation. A power outage at the plant shut down several cooling systems. Upon investigation, a dead rat was found near the plant's switchboard. Investigators believe the rodent chewed on the cables, electrocuted itself, and short-circuited the system.
