These sirens are used for weather as far as I know. The Whelens are all you will find around St Joe and Stevensville, Bridgman, etc.EL1998P71 wrote:I assume just like the Fermi Plant, the Nuke plant sirens are not used for weather. Which explains why in Estral Beach, there are two 2001's right next to each other. (All Fermi sirens are 2001's while Monroe County are Modulators and are tested at the same time on the same day)
I've been over by the cook plant and Palisades and didn't see any sirens right next to each other. So Fermi may be unique
You're exactly correct. I can remember seeing several Hurricanes around the Cook Nuclear Power Plant back in 1976-1977. Ironically, they were all painted dark gray, rather than the traditional yellow that was used at Davis Besse in Ohio. With that said, I would have loved to heard them go off for their monthly test.erik92da wrote:EL1998P71 wrote: Now, after doing some research, I am POSITIVE that it was an ACA Hurricane painted dark gray. While the Hurricane is now gone, there is a Whelen somewhat nearby, which explains the "talking" I heard back then. I wonder if the Cook system was all Hurricanes back in the day?
