Indian Point Siren Test Successful

The Wednesday morning test of the sirens in the 10-mile radius around the Indian Point nuclear power plants was successful, Entergy officials said.

In an actual emergency the sirens would sound to alert the public to tune in to a local EAS radio or television station for important information and direction. These stations are listed in the emergency planning booklet mailed to households and businesses in the 10-mile Emergency Planning Zone around Indian Point. An electronic version of the booklet is posted on the Indian Point web site.
