A test of the Salem/Hope Creek Nuclear Generating Stations Alert and Notification System will be conducted on Tuesday, July12, 2005, between 5:00 and 9:00 p.m., by the Delaware Emergency Management Agency and the Delaware State Police.
The Quarterly Siren Test involves a three- to five-minute sounding of the 37 sirens followed by a test message of the Emergency Alert System (EAS). The sirens are located within a 10-mile radius of the power plant, which is located in New Jersey.
Should an actual emergency occur at Salem or Hope Creek Nuclear Generating Stations, sirens would alert the public to tune to one of the EAS stations for important emergency instructions.
