Final Three Mile Island Siren System Activation, Ever!

[@coltenfritz9350]

it sounds so melodic and beautiful

[@EmergencyGuy]

This sound is exactly what Harrisburg residents heard during the frantic attempt to avoid the crisis at the Three Mile Island Nuclear Power Station, a place I saw when I went to Harrisburg International Airport. The crisis was thankfully averted and no meltdown ever happened.

[@snowcat9308]

I wish people talked more about Three Mile Island when they talked about nuclear disasters. Its an example of what a properly-funded and properly-trained staff can do to avoid catastrophe in the event of something going wrong. (As opposed to under-funded, under-trained, and under-motivated soviet staff working on a cheap reactor.)

[@jessesager9460]

Today is 5/16/21, and I still miss the sounds of the old siren system. The T-128’s just don’t excite me.

[@Whyyoutubewhy..]

It doesn’t matter anymore since TMI doesn’t need sirens anymore

[@Alwaysdoinit112]

That's because the new ones are sadly single tone.

[@whenuraquar]

But I think I heard these sirens a few days ago in Spring Creek, PA near Harrisburg

[@MisterTwister55]

nope you didn't hear these. they're all disconnected

[@agoushy74]

Damn. Very sad. They should have kept the Cyclones. They are very good sirens. These sirens only came out in the 80's and that's when they bought them. What's the problem, why are they replacing them?

[@CentralPASirens]

Alexander Goushy they replaced them because the T-128's, unlike the old sirens, have battery backup.

[@neosho53059]

CentralPASirens they should have done t-121ac/dc to match the cyclones... that’s what they did in a town near me

[@brodiessirenproductions]

[@riverboy2228]

And 6 years later, the whole tmi plant is getting shut down.

[@ThunderTrain2930]

And they said something could go wrong so they’re keeping the sirens on. I honestly believe now, after a long hate with the T-128s, *some* of the old system should’ve stayed and sounded with the newer system.

[@brandonbutchart5576]

Thundertrain2930 I thought the old system was gone?

[@ryfipassword]

@@brandonbutchart5576 there's a couple cyclones still standing, like one on 10 Smith Road just past the emigsville/Manchester area. But they're all disconnected. I wanna know if there's still any lifeless p10's standing though

@@ryfipassword there is one by a highway

[@midwestsirens]

why would they replace a brand new 2001-SRNB with a T-128?!?

[@bluegrasssirens1938]

+Paul Spomer The T-128 low pithced sound carries much farter than the 2001.

[@midwestsirens]

yeah but the 2001 is very new!

[@Creeperboy099]

cuz T 128s are better

[@neosho53059]

+Creeperboy amen! I wish the island would have gotten t-135ac/dc's instead, but oh well they got a good choice

[@midwestsirens]

it depends

[@mclarensuniversethatisverystic]

ACA P-10 and T-128 sounds better together

[@JMANWiSS]

They Replaced the 2001s Too? Those had battery backup whyd they replace those?

[@ryfipassword]

T-128's low tone db travels farther

[@Thunderbolt_1000_Siren]

That and they said they wanted sirens of the same model and company for easier mantience instead of ones from different companies.

[@TheSirenSeeker]

ah yes, infant jman

[@BRISTOLFORCE2009]

This is one of the times that 2001’s were liked

[@That_2_guy2T]

Can i use this sound?

[@ff29h2]

What ever happened to all of the now out of service sirens

[@ryfipassword]

Most torn down. There's one cyclone still standing on 10 Smith Road and probably others as well in various parts of south central PA, but it's inactive. The t128's are inactive as well and have been since 2020 since tmi is getting shut down, but they are still connected in case something goes wrong.

Why replace a good 2001 with a stupid T-128??

[@freebrickproductions]

Tyler Copeland Nah, I'm willing to bet that TMI just wanted a system comprised of one siren model for maintenance reasons (so they only have to buy from one company). It probably has happened before.

[@WisconsinSirens]

Tyler Copeland Stop Arguing about 128'S -.- their as loud as any other siren. Plus P-50'S are LOUDER that T-128'S. 128'S DB= 130 P-50'S DB= 135 P-50 WINS

[@WisconsinSirens]

P-50'S are better :3

[@hooviedoovie5220]

in my opinion every nuclear power plant should have a P-50. they should put them back in production and sell the snot out of them. and they'd sell too
