It wasn\u2019t a test, but it wasn\u2019t a real emergency broadcast, either.<\/p>\n

On Tuesday evening, TV viewers in parts of southern New Jersey saw a sudden \u2014 and no doubt alarming \u2014 warning flash across their screens, right in the middle of primetime:<\/p>\n

The New Jersey Office of Emergency Management said the \u201cnuclear power plant warning\u201d was created as part of a training exercise.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe message was intended for a small group of emergency management personnel who were participating in the exercise,\u201d the agency said. \u201cAs a result of a coding error, the message was publicly broadcast.\u201d<\/p>\n
