Daily Item: Sirens mistakenly sound at nuclear power plant Sunbury, PA The Daily Item 200 Market Street Sunbury, PA 17801 (570) 286-5671 (800) 792-2303 December 18, 2006 BERWICK ( Emergency sires near PPL's Susquehanna nuclear power plant went off around 11 a.m. this morning, but company officials said it was part of a test and not an actual emergency.

3 We conduct silent tests of the siren system every two weeks,2 said Lou Ramos, spokesman for the plant. 3During a scheduled test this morning, the sirens mistakenly received a signal to sound, rather than a signal for a silent test. We apologize for any anxiety that this may have caused among area residents. 2 The sirens can be sounded by PPL Susquehanna or by emergency management agencies in Luzerne or Columbia counties.

3 The sires that sounded today were part of the old siren system, which PPL Susquehanna is in the process of replacing, 2 Mr. Ramos said. 3We will conduct a full-scale test of the newly installed 2

siren system tomorrow.

Emergency sirens around the plant are in place to notify the public to tune into emergency broadcast stations on television or radio in the event of an emergency at the nuclear plant or in the community.
