BRUNSWICK COUNTY — Around 38 sirens in 10 miles of Brunswick Nuclear Plant’s will be tested Wednesday.
It’s part of the plant’s quarterly testing strategy, to sound off five to 30 seconds between 10 a.m. and 11 a.m. Some sirens may test multiple times and is conducted in cooperation with emergency officials in Brunswick and New Hanover counties.
Local broadcasting stations will not be interrupted via the broadcast Emergency Alert System (EAS). However, if there were a legitimate emergency at the plant, local radio and television stations would broadcast information and instructions to the public.
