Indian Point Security Training Drill Scheduled for June 30

Buchanan, NY – Security officers will participate in a scheduled training drill at the Indian Point Energy Center during parts of the day and evening June 30, Entergy officials said.

It's the second of two drills this month. The first was June 21.

The training drills involve simulated attack scenarios that are intended to be as realistic as possible, officials said.

Members of the public may hear the sound of artificial gunfire from simulated weaponry used during the exercises.
Local law enforcement agencies have been informed of the events.

Security officers will be using Multiple Integrated Laser Engagement Systems, or MILES, gear during the drill. These systems involve special laser weaponry which duplicates the effects, including sound, of live ammunition. MILES gear is used for military and counter-terrorism training across the country.
