Los Angeles, (APP - UrduPoint / Pakistan Point News - 23rd May, 2018 ) :A slow-moving lava flow is starting to close in on a power plant near Kilauea volcano, which has authorities scrambling to keep it from becoming part of the drama.
Officials said there was no "immediate threat" to the Puna Geothermal Company (PGV) a 38-megawatt plant run by the state of Hawaii.
Still, "cracks near the Puna Geothermal Company are active and producing lava that slowly flows into the property, which destroyed the old Hawaii Geothermal Project in an area adjacent to the PGV," it said.
Authorities are closely monitoring the situation in this hot air turbine electrical plant. As a precaution, flammable chemicals were removed from the plant and the wells were filled with cold water. For now, there's a steam release.
