US Nuclear Power Plants NOT Equipped with Battery-Powered Emergency Warning Sirens.San Luis Obispo Tribune | 04/06/2005 | Battery backups for sirens urged: "nuclear activists have joined with legislators in New York to request that all nuclear power plants in the nation be equipped with battery-powered emergency warning sirens.
In a teleconference Tuesday, residents and public officials living near nuclear plants petitioned the federal Nuclear Regulatory Commission to require that emergency sirens around nuclear stations be able to function during power outages.
During the December 2003 San Simeon Earthquake, 56 of Diablo Canyon nuclear power plant's 131 sirens were silenced when electricity failed. In August of that year, a massive blackout darkened much of the Northeast and Canada and rendered inoperable all of the sirens around Indian Point nuclear plant north of New York City."
