Catawba Nuclear Station Siren Test Scheduled for July 10th

Duke Energy and local officials will be testing the outdoor warning sirens around the Catawba Nuclear Station on Wednesday, July 10th, between 11 a.m. and 1 p.m.

The 89 sirens within 10 miles of the station will sound for 5 to 30 seconds each. Some sirens may be tested more than once.

This is only a test. There is no emergency at the plant. Local broadcasting stations will not interrupt regular programming.

If there were a real emergency, local radio and television stations would broadcast information and instructions.
