Plum Island, NY Whelen WS-2000-1XXs

Hi all, wanted to jump on here and ask about Plum Island's Whelen WS-2000-1XXs. There is supposedly 3 of them. Does anyone know anything about them?

These three are part of the Dominion Millstone EPZ since the island is within the ten mile radius. Why these were never upgraded is beyond me. Millstone is a odd ball as each the communities test the sirens on their own schedules (example being East Lyme and Waterford which test monthly) while others there isn's much infomation at all. According to the safety infomation, the Plant also tests the sirens but there has been no infomation of this. The only infomation we know about testing is for East Lyme and Waterford.

Attached is a older Millstone Map from 2003 but it still holds a lot of the current day locations.

Ah thanks for that. Found that very odd how these haven't been touched. I assume these sirens are not accessible to Millstone or are inactive. I know of Old Lyme's WS-2000-112 by Mile Creek road is still up. Controller was removed and now is just a birds nest.
