Security Drills At Indian Point Monday, Tuesday

CORTLANDT, NY — Entergy will be conducting security training drills using weapons that simulate gunfire at the Indian Point Energy Center during the evening on Monday and Tuesday. During the drills, people near the site may hear the sound of simulated gunfire as participants carry out the training.

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.

Local law enforcement has been notified about the drills.
