If you are outdoors and within 3 kilometres of a nuclear generating station, you will hear sirens sound for one minute.

  1. I used to work next door to one and heard it quite often, when it went off you had to say inside the building.

  2. Interesting. They must do that at our plant but it is so far away from the city, we never hear it.

  5. Wow, good thing I am more than 3km away. Do I need to go to the shelter when it goes off?

  6. baby boomers are going to get abused and treated like garbage in the retirement homes. Maybe you boomers shouldn't have been so selfish and arrogant and greedy. Literally everyone hates baby boomers now. Enjoy those retirement homes, and good luck, boomers!

  7. We have no nuclear power plants here but we have a National Emergency Plan for Nuclear Accidents.

  8. Hopefully during the daylight hours.

    That anonymous coward can't take a hint and just die.

  9. I'd forgotten the tests. They decommissioned and eventually destroyed the Trojan plant not far from us. I remember the Sunday morning many years ago when the explosives used to collapse the thing went off-- even from 35 miles, it was loud! Andy-- we have our blogs set not to accept posts from anonymous persons.

  10. Here the first monday of the month at 12 A.M sound sirens for half a minute to test the national alarm system and it is heard over the whole country. I believe that the time taken by those in power to decide whether it is a national disaster or whether the accident or disaster should be halted is enough for the system not to function correctly.
