Indian Point Security Training Drills Scheduled

Buchanan, NY – Security officers will be participating in scheduled training drills at the Indian Point Energy Center during parts of the day and evening on June 21 and June 30, Entergy officials said.

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