Limerick Nuclear Power Plant Testing Sirens At 2 p.m. Today

POTTSTOWN, PA – Exelon's Limerick Generating Station will test its emergency warning siren today at 2 p.m., so when you hear them, it is not a signal of a real emergency.

Exelon Nuclear tests its sirens twice a year and will test the Limerick station sirens at full volume Monday afternoon. The nuclear power plant is at 3146 Sanatoga Road. A 10-mile radius of the plant reaches Montgomery, Chester, and Berks counties, and sirens will be heard in areas of those three counties.

Chester County Emergency Management said the sirens will sound for three minutes.

Within the radius are multiple sirens ready to alert residents if there were a real emergency at the plant. If that happened, hearing the sirens would serve as a warning to seek more information from local broadcasters.

County emergency management officials are tasked with activating the sirens. Exelon's full instructions related to an emergency at the Limerick Generation Station can be found here, posted by Chester County.
