All sirens sound in latest Indian Point test

All sirens sound in latest Indian Point test
Buchanan – All 155 new sirens sounded Tuesday as Entergy works toward meeting its deadline of August 24th to turn on the new Indian Point warning system.
Company spokesman James Steets said that all of the sirens sounded when tested in the morning. Last weekend, 97 percent of the new sirens worked.
“This positions us well to put the system into service on August 24,” he said. “We still have some work to do on that score where we will be providing FEMA with some data that the sound of the sirens meets the regulations and meets all of our objectives.”
Steets said that some remaining issues must be resolved, but he is confident the new system will be fully operational on deadline day.
