Seabrook Nuclear Plant Siren Test 11/18/09 in S Hampton NH

[Manadox97]

The steady tone was to signal a test, the second fluctuating tone was the test. The real fallout siren is a three count parabola with a three second pause in between.

[doverpoint1]

That second one is eerie. When I was in third grade, we were having lunch at school and we heard that. I didn't hear the steady tone though. But when I heard that, one of my friends said, " is that a fire truck?" I said no, lol it is just a whelen wps 4008 and he is like how do you know that!?

[Cobras7111]

This is a 4008 doing the 560hz alert signal

[GeorgiaDragon001]

Those people saying they can not hear a siren like that better be deaf. other wise beat the lies out of their heads with a bat. 

[minembo]

ON 00:30 you can faintly hear some other whelens booting up

[kasm279]

Nice Whelen WPS-4008!

[adamski895RS]

Thats what the one near me sounds like, its going off right now, buts its not a test.

[lucas20057]

That sir, right there is epic, hearing many siren winding down one by one.. WHOAAAA! love it

[MultiPinky111]

i thought the power plant was offline why do they still do shit like this

[shorttman1968]

What kind of siren is that. Loks like an ATI Rotater

[FederalSystem7000]

@shorttman1968 This siren is a Whelen WPS-4000-8 (also known as the WPS-4008) using the updated 560Hz tone module.

In addition to the WPS-4000-8, Seabrook also uses the Whelen WPS-3016, also fitted with the latest controllers and 560Hz tone modules.

[shorttman1968]

@FederalSystem7000 ive never seen a 4008 look like that. maybe is just the sun.

[GayBoyRunning]

that would for sure ruin ur day if u heard that next to a Nuclear power plant..

[soulx998]

you can hear the other sirens go off faintly at the start at 0:24 its pretty cool. oh yea isn't sea brook in newhampshire

[yifftoy]

hey i live in antrim nh usa i have been to sea brook meny a time and only have heard these once nice vid man keep them coming

[WhelenWS3016]

[Trainsirenguy]

NIce echos.

[firealarmtech7]

this is a rare siren to see

[MegaLilkeith]

@firealarmtech7 no its not they are common to see in canada

[carnivalwrkr2005]

Seabrook has only 121 sirens because almost half of their EPZ is offshore. Many nuke plants have over 200 depending on population density, topography, etc. Also the sirens that Seabrook uses have voice capacity so they could have announced the test on the sirens before activating them.

[vigburt]

that biker must have been scared shitless haha

[bait28]

Whelen FTL

[nukesvids]

I was in school when they did this siren test the siren scared everyone in the school me and my friends are VERY big fans or nuclear power and we knew it was coming

[Idn42]

Yeah it's about 350000 square feet

[someguy4421]

damn 121 sirens that plant must be huge

[nukesvids]

@someguy4421 its the newest plant in the United States in fact its where i get my power from :)

[SovietUoin]

ive heard a whelen 4008 before it did not sound like this? how did they change the tone? ports?

[dinxton2]

This 4008 has the new whelen tone and they arn't in production.

[Siren1000T1]

Great video of the Whelen WPS-4008.

[EvanToTheFutureDude]

121 Sirens? Whoa! :D

Nice video too.

[kurnellampdwarf]

@EvanToTheFutureDude

Yep all around the Seabrook area.

[WhelenWS3016]

@EvanToTheFutureDude We are getting new sirens. We are going to wind-up with 185 sirens total.

[HystoricalMicrobe]

Whoa, before the 4008 wound up, it sounded like Xt22's xD. Excellent video btw

[thecompanycar]

With the people in the town hall not hearing the siren, even though it's close to them, it's never intended to be heard indoors. The intent of almost every siren installation is to warn people who are outside.

[bait28]

@thecompanycar Umm, tempest 135's can be heard indoors, they should use them, or at least mechanical cause electric is shit

[thecompanycar]

@bait28 This is true. I wish a siren system could be developed that was intended to be heard indoors. I would like to see a system that wasn't excessively loud outside but was effectively audible indoors in a modern residential structure. It would have to be practical for a municipality to install and maintain too. The T-135 or a larger Sentry Siren would likely be the closest thing.
