Those are The Old PN20s.the ATIs got up in 2008

Its a more "efficient" ATI siren, and supposedly better than the old school sirens, right? And they test it twice a month (at least that's what I'm gathering)? Wow.
Nine Mile Point in Oswego has a mere 37 sirens, and the majority of them are Thunderbolts. The same Thunderbolts that were decommissioned for too many parts to replace, yet are only tested 4 times a year, they never fail, and they GRAB your attention.
Sounds like the new product isn't always the best, huh?

The reason they are not reliable, and need to be tested frequently, and why nobody reacts to the un-threatening sound of the sirens is because of the sirens themselves. The company, ATI, has a TERRIBLE track record of a wide range of failures of their warning sirens. Whoever is in charge of the warning system needs to pull their head out of their ass and install reliable sirens with a tone that can not be interpreted as anything but imminent danger, such as the ASC T-128. Look it up on youtube.

This is why you should NEVER use electronic sirens near nuclear plants.

Keep it running or shut it down ...
Either way I think we can all agree that Indian Point needs to be guarded 24/7.
I did 2 "tours" at Indian Point (with the NYARNG) and it did not take me long to figure out how I would attack and cause mass chaos at I.P.
I am glad I live way up river from I.P.

they need to shut this place down, i live in the totally obliterated area if this thing melts down (beacon)
I like the bird -- it sounds like a little diaphone. It's also louder than the siren and probably more reliable.

When an actual alert goes out, the words EMERGENCY, EMERGENCY, EMERGENCY are yelled at the beginning, with THIS IS NOT A TEST, THIS IS NOT A TEST, Spaced throughout it.
