Indian Point Security Drills Tuesday, Wednesday

BUCHANAN, NY – Entergy will be conducting security exercises at the Indian Point Energy Center during the evening Tuesday and Wednesday using weapons that simulate the sound of actual gunfire. During the exercises, persons near the site may hear the sound of simulated gunfire as participants carry out the activities.

Local law enforcement has been notified about the drills.

Entergy will be using a technical innovation for the exercise known as “MILES” gear, or Multiple Integrated Laser Engagement Systems. These systems involve the use of laser “bullets” and vests with laser-detection equipment, which duplicate the effects, including the sound, of live ammunition. MILES gear is used for military and counter-terrorism training across the country to make it as realistic as possible without using real bullets.
