Warning system won't accomplish anything
I watch with amazement the continuing saga regarding the deployment of the warning system for the Indian Point nuclear reactor. Has anyone considered the effectiveness of such a warning system? Assuming the sirens are heard and it is not a test, what exactly would the public do? Anyone who drives in the Westchester area is well aware of the snaring traffic due to volume and aggravated by construction. The other day I traveled over the Tappan Zee Bridge at midday to avoid traffic and it took me 25 minutes to traverse the bridge. Does anyone really believe that Westchester could be timely evacuated? I would rather have had the time, effort and expense spent on employee training, inspections and prophylactic repairs to avoid a major disaster.
