Duke Energy and county officials to test sirens around Robinson Nuclear Plant
§ A five to 30 second test is scheduled between 1 p.m. and 5 p.m. on Wednesday, January 11
§ No public action required
HARTSVILLE, S.C. – The 59 outdoor warning sirens around the Robinson Nuclear Plant will be tested for five to 30 seconds between 1 p.m. and 5 p.m. on Wednesday,
January 11, as scheduled. To ensure they are functioning properly, it may be necessary to test some sirens more than once.
Testing is performed in cooperation with emergency officials in Chesterfield, Darlington and Lee counties, who are responsible for sounding the sirens.
Because this is a test, local broadcasting stations will not interrupt regular programming to broadcast Emergency Alert System (EAS) messages. If there were ever a real emergency at the plant requiring the sirens to be sounded, local radioand television stations would broadcast information and instructions to the public.
