Nuclear Power Plant Evacuation Siren | ADT System Test 27

Nuclear power plants, chemical plants, and other special facilities might be required to have special evacuation systems that raise alarms for non-fire emergencies due to the potential for other dangerous hazards. Depending on the severity of the situation, these systems can implement evacuations within the facility, locally, or even regionally. This system test has special "Plant Evacuation" Global Fire Control RMS-1T pull stations that trigger Wheelock and EST "Alert" strobes (RSSA-24MCW & G1WA-VMA) and my Vixen Horns VXS-1450AR air raid siren.

[@Techno-Universal]

Those plant evacuation stations can also trigger emergency siren systems that are scattered around a large radius of the facility while also sending out a local emergency alert through the local EAS system.

[@king_83227]

Thanks for the tip and that’s a great thing to do especially places like Fukushima Daiichi

[@ThunderboltSirenStudios]

I would recommend small sirens for the area such as Omni-Alerts or Modulators

[@trevorhaddox6884]

IDK if it is still around, but there was an abandoned nuclear station where the emergency sirens would go off randomly, likely due to faulty/decaying wiring.

[@Memerino-ly7yr]

Negative, most systems on Commander or ASC Compulert software require manual intervention

[@Galactipod]

@@Schmaggleschticker All of those would work. There's also a dedicated Nuclear Power Plant Warning but this isn't really in use. In the end it's really just what the authorities request. EAS activation isn't automated (though relaying it on local stations is automatic after initial activation).

A veteran buddy of mine had a hell of a day every time they tested the tsunami sirens where he lived. It was his job to fire and intercept missiles, so a siren meant INCOMING DOOM GO GO GO

[@tibsie]

The chemical plant 2 miles away from where I live tests its sirens at 3pm every Monday. I'm surprised I can hear it that far away and the timing is so accurate, 3pm and zero seconds on the dot every week, not "give or take 5 minutes".

[@richardmillhousenixon]

The tests are almost always automated, so there isn't any timing error due to human imprecision.

[@djcfrompt]

It absolutely has to be accurate because otherwise any accident that occurred at that time could be mistaken for an alarm test. If you know it's always 3 pm on the dot and one day you hear it at 2:58, then you'll be wise to assume it's the real deal.

For the local nuclear power station, they have the alarm system as automatic. If it detects radiation above x, it triggers. Internal sirens trigger first and the hope is it can be contained before it escapes the plant via means - as well as an alert for personnel to take their iodine tablets and put on any PPE required.

[@diode_exe]

Iodine tablets reduce the radiation inside the bodies, right?

Nice video! Fun fact, The Three mile island nuclear plant.(which is now decommissioned.)in Pennsylvania had outdoor warning sirens installed after the partial Meltdown on Unit 2 in 1979. These sirens would go off if another meltdown occured at the power plant. Otherwise they were tested monthly. These sirens (all of which were ACA) were replaced some time in 2011 or 2012 with ASC T-128s. Ironically those dident even remain in service for 10 years before being taken down due to again the plant permanently closing.

[@LegendaryCollektor]

I miss those sirens. I hate fire alarms...lije a phobia of them. I cant sit near a pulldown, I hate their flashing, I hate the chirps, horns, whatever... But air raid sirens? Those outdoor sirens? I luuuuv them.

I think people do overreact a little bit on nuclear power plants, the safety systems today are incredible to the point it's up there with airliner safety and probably surpassed it. Of course I'm not gonna just ask you to trust it there's risk's to everything but I do believe that it isn't gonna blow up like people say. Of course though because of the disasters in the past people just think bad about it now which is sad. In many ways those accident's weren't a defect of the technology it self.

[@HelloKittyFanMan]

Hmm, interesting, because before this, I've only ever seen red/white or silver-colored pull stations, especially that the kind with the T-bar have only been red with white, and without a cover. And I've never seen any that I knew were connected to a _mechanical_ siren before! Oh, and I just remembered your blue ones for police and tornadoes. But I had never seen those before watching your channel. And the most I've heard from those pull stations were: 1. buzzers (both mechanical and electronic), 2. electronic bells (if I remember right), electronic sirens, and recordings of talking. Maybe I've heard one hooked up to a mechanical bell too, but I don't remember it.

On the large metro system in my country’s capital: one manual call point being activated triggers a stage 1 alarm where staff are requested to the control room to check the situation. 2 manual call points or 1 automatic sensor in a “critical space” being activated skips directly to the “evacuate” alarm and summons the fire brigade.

What's the supposed point of having a glass to break in those pullers: as if the mfr. can't just make something with a similar click to have to overcome that doesn't require the breaking of something, if the glass isn't a _cover_ over the box and so it doesn't serve as a deterrent against alarm trolls because they would have to break the glass just to get to it, and maybe get caught doing so?

I plan on making a nuclear fallout detection and notification system called the Federal Signal RadAlert. It’ll be designed for public fallout shelters and near nuclear power plants. It’ll be a horn/strobe type alarm just like a fire alarm but it’ll be yellow or amber and have a yellow/amber light for radiation. It’ll be wired to a weatherproof Geiger counter that’s located on the roof of a public building above an entrance way and when fallout enters the city it’ll pick up the gamma radiation and trigger the alarm alerting occupants to shelter immediately.

[@sandman0127]

When i was on the emergency response team at a chemical plant, we had an automatic system. If there was an emergency the on site dispacher would signal the alarm, which would immediately send a signal to the citys public safety dispachers who would issue an alert through text TV and radio to shelter in place. Our dispacher would call emergency management and fill them in on the situation. But rest assured, we would be on scene doing the best we can to save your and our asses
