IP siren test gets good grade
BUCHANAN – A total of 150 of the 156 sirens in the Indian Point nuclear power plant warning system worked Wednesday when the system was tested, Entergy spokeswoman Robyn Bentley said.
That’s a more than 96 percent success rate. Three sirens did not sound in Westchester County, one failed in Rockland County and two failed in Orange County.
Entergy expects to have its new siren system up and running in August, said Bentley. Until then, the existing system will remain on line.
