Highlights: County Administrative Board: Why you should have a warning receiver if you live near a nuclear power plant. More than 60,000 warning receivers will be sent out to residents around the Ringhals nuclear plant. Residents receive a postcard and a notice to collect their recipient. Several packages have been left at post offices and some have been sent back, something SVT Halland has reported on earlier in the week. If someone has forgotten to pick up their warning receiver, you can place an order on 15 January through the County Administrative Board's website.
