SMYRNA, Del. — Residents in the Smyrna area should expect to hear emergency warning sirens on Tuesday evening as part of a scheduled safety drill.
State emergency officials, Delaware State Police, and Public Service Enterprise Group Inc. (PSEG) will activate the alert system for the Salem/Hope Creek Nuclear Generating Stations on Tuesday, April 7 at exactly 7:20 p.m.
The routine quarterly examination involves 37 warning sirens positioned throughout Delaware within a 10-mile perimeter of the nuclear facilities.
The Delaware Emergency Management Agency (DEMA) coordinates these regular tests to ensure the alert system functions properly in case of an actual emergency at the nuclear power plants.
